Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt with a brilliantense spirited defense.
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh fought back so that now he's still in supreme
Speaker 1: tension with an assist from Senator Lindsey Graham. But the
Speaker 1: GOP has dealt itself a bit of an unwarranted blow,
Speaker 1: my friends, a week long delay for an FBI investigation
Speaker 1: into the Kavanaugh situation. We will dive into this together
Speaker 1: coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the
Speaker 1: mission or mission is to decode what really matters with
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence, no mistake American. Let grant you're a great
Speaker 1: American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins an not saying that.
Speaker 1: Let me say again, I'm not making I can't make
Speaker 1: that commitment for the leadership. I can only say that
Speaker 1: I would be only comfortable moving forward on the floor.
Speaker 1: I'll move it out of committee, but I will only
Speaker 1: be comfortable moving on the floor until the FBI has
Speaker 1: done more investigation than they have already. UM, it may
Speaker 1: not take them a week. I understand that some of
Speaker 1: these witnesses may not want to discuss anything further, but
Speaker 1: I think we're we owe them due diligence. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: rely on uh All of the people, including Senator grass Lee,
Speaker 1: who's doing a very good job. That'll be a decision
Speaker 1: that they're going to make, and they suspect they'll be
Speaker 1: making some decision soon, whether to take a vote or
Speaker 1: to do whatever else they want to do. I will
Speaker 1: be totally reliant on what Senator Grassley and the group
Speaker 1: decides to do. Welcome to the Buck Saxton Show. We
Speaker 1: got flaked. We got flaked. I knew it would happen, um,
Speaker 1: because I've been saying it for weeks and he said
Speaker 1: this morning, you know he was gonna vote for Kavanaugh.
Speaker 1: And I knew it was too good to be true,
Speaker 1: too too much courage. And the guy is a sniveling
Speaker 1: little coward. You can't get him out of the Senate
Speaker 1: fast enough. So after all that, folks, after all the hearings,
Speaker 1: dozens of hours of hearings and questions and interviews and
Speaker 1: background checks and all this stuff, all the flood the
Speaker 1: zone media coverage, now Republicans have to go through another
Speaker 1: week of this nonsense. Now here's the here's the basic
Speaker 1: premise that the problem is that you've got you know,
Speaker 1: Murkowski and Collins and and Flake and you know who
Speaker 1: are there's something. There's one or two others that are
Speaker 1: saying that they want you know that they wouldn't have
Speaker 1: voted for him. So they said, basically, they didn't have
Speaker 1: the votes unless this FBI investigation happens, which is no
Speaker 1: one's even clear really what this investigation is. You know what,
Speaker 1: you know what I do. If I'm Mark Judge two,
Speaker 1: try and get through this as quickly as possible. I
Speaker 1: would probably just read to the FBI the sworn statement
Speaker 1: that I've already signed and sent to the Senate. So
Speaker 1: the FBI shows up and say we want to ask
Speaker 1: you questions, I'd be like, here is my statement. I
Speaker 1: will read it to you. That is my cooperation. Now
Speaker 1: please leave. People either don't understand or more likely with
Speaker 1: these Senate Democrats and this, this has all been planned.
Speaker 1: This is all part of the game. Um is that
Speaker 1: you know, is that they will act like they're being
Speaker 1: they're they're trying for just something reasonable here. I promise
Speaker 1: you they're going to change. I promise you they will
Speaker 1: not honor their end of this. And this has been
Speaker 1: the purpose of this all along, as we know, has
Speaker 1: been delayed, and it's enraging eight. It makes me furious
Speaker 1: and I would say that the g O. P is
Speaker 1: uh you know, is to blame and blame in his
Speaker 1: spinless But it was just a couple of them, just
Speaker 1: like with the repeal of Obamacare, just a couple of them.
Speaker 1: This one, I think the stakes are actually much higher.
Speaker 1: This is about national honor. This is about what kind
Speaker 1: of country we live in. Do we want to live
Speaker 1: in a country where accusation with massive political motivation, timed
Speaker 1: in such a way to do the most damage possible
Speaker 1: with no corroboration, and in fact all the facts pointing
Speaker 1: against the claim is enough to ruin somebody's life and
Speaker 1: destroy them and derail their career. That is what that
Speaker 1: is really what is at stake here. There is not
Speaker 1: a shred of evidence, not one piece of evidence to
Speaker 1: tie Brett Kavanaugh to the Professor Ford allegations. There's nothing.
Speaker 1: And yet we had a few Republicans who because they
Speaker 1: were cornered and we'll talk about how Flake got cornered
Speaker 1: an elevator and just you know, skewed and yelled at
Speaker 1: by women who were who were truly hysteric call I
Speaker 1: mean they were crying and yelling and screaming at him. Um.
Speaker 1: But they they caved on this one. The Democrats are radicals.
Speaker 1: Democrats are really progressive fundamentalists. That's what you see here.
Speaker 1: They are all in on power. That is what matters
Speaker 1: to them. There is really no justification for this delay,
Speaker 1: and I am telling you right now it is very
Speaker 1: likely that we will look back on this and say
Speaker 1: to ourselves, how could they have been so foolish? How
Speaker 1: could they have been so stupid? The good news is
Speaker 1: that Brett Kavanaugh, to anybody who who is being reasonable
Speaker 1: about any of this, has more than defended himself successfully.
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, Brett Kavanaugh has has cleared his name.
Speaker 1: I don't believe the allegations against him. I haven't believed
Speaker 1: them before I heard all the testimony. I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: And they've been calling for this delay, delayed to lay.
Speaker 1: Now it matters quite a bit more, doesn't it That
Speaker 1: Professor Ford or her lawyers on her behalf lied about
Speaker 1: her fear of flying, lied about it for one purpose
Speaker 1: and one purpose only, delay so they could roll out
Speaker 1: other accusations, turn up the heat here. And now we're told,
Speaker 1: oh no, we just want the FBI investigation. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you this, and I am certain of it. As
Speaker 1: we go through next week, there will be a campaign
Speaker 1: of sliming and innuendo and personal destruction that just makes
Speaker 1: us all sick to our stomachs. Be prepared for it's
Speaker 1: going to get even worse. How I can't even really
Speaker 1: come in then, And I'll talk to you later about
Speaker 1: what I think some of the possible avenues are. They
Speaker 1: may go, but it's going to get even worse and
Speaker 1: uglier and more depraved and evil. That's coming up. That's
Speaker 1: now with this one week, this one week, and I
Speaker 1: just gives them more room to do what they've already done.
Speaker 1: And the other part of this that I am as
Speaker 1: lutely confident in and like people say that it's not
Speaker 1: up to the president, but yeah, the President's opening the
Speaker 1: FBI investigation. They didn't have the votes. They had a
Speaker 1: couple of Republicans and a couple of Democrats who are
Speaker 1: on the fence, and they until this FBI thing happens,
Speaker 1: they don't feel like they have the cover to go
Speaker 1: forward and and do this. I would know this would
Speaker 1: never be a problem for the Democrats, meaning the Democrats.
Speaker 1: When something went a major point of ideologies at stake,
Speaker 1: the Democrats go in lock step. They vote like the board,
Speaker 1: like some kind of machine entity. They do not have
Speaker 1: any defections. When something that's important to the left is
Speaker 1: at stake, they will do anything, all of them. They
Speaker 1: will lie down in traffic like a bunch of loons.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about senators. They'll do whatever they have
Speaker 1: to do. Our side, as you see, not so much.
Speaker 1: But I I want you to hear me on this
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to prepare you and myself for this.
Speaker 1: I want you to hear me on this. I think
Speaker 1: it's essential that we're all ready for it. I have
Speaker 1: zero doubts. I mean, I can't see the future, and
Speaker 1: who knows, but I have zero doubt that by Wednesday
Speaker 1: of next week, maybe even as soon as Tuesday, you
Speaker 1: will hear a a concerted across the board rallying cry
Speaker 1: from the left of how dare they think they can
Speaker 1: complete a gang rape investigation in five days? How dare
Speaker 1: they think they're taking these allegations seriously in five days? Now?
Speaker 1: What we've heard for the the week or so leading
Speaker 1: up to this is, oh, the Anita Hill England lasted
Speaker 1: three days. They're being so unreasonable, they're being so unfair.
Speaker 1: Why not just take the time to do the investigation.
Speaker 1: This was the talking point. This was the main talking
Speaker 1: point about process, other than calling Kavanaugh a rapist, which
Speaker 1: is idiotic in a disgrace to say. But they were
Speaker 1: doing that too. It wasn't even accused of rape. But
Speaker 1: I digress. But they will switch from Oh, Anita Hill
Speaker 1: only took three days. Why are they being so unfair
Speaker 1: to how they they can't do this in a week?
Speaker 1: This is an outrage. Just one more week, Just one
Speaker 1: more week, they'll say, And then we'll go forward, and
Speaker 1: they'll have women showing up and shrieking in the faces
Speaker 1: of Mansion and Flake and Murkowski, and they'll have protests
Speaker 1: and flood their own media coverage and all this stuff
Speaker 1: because some people in the GOP can't learn their lesson.
Speaker 1: Because Jeff Flake is a disgusting, sniveling coward, and we
Speaker 1: all know it, and I've known it all along, and
Speaker 1: he is a disgrace. And I do believe that one day,
Speaker 1: when he's near the end, he will look back on
Speaker 1: this and for a moment he will realize that this
Speaker 1: was a street fight, and he left behind people on
Speaker 1: his own side. He decided, he decided to run and
Speaker 1: and and look for help while people were bleeding out
Speaker 1: on the street fighting for what he said was his side.
Speaker 1: You don't want Jeff Lake to have your back in
Speaker 1: a bar fight that much, I can tell you. The
Speaker 1: guy is an absolute coward. But that's what we're heading for.
Speaker 1: We're heading for a two pronged assault next week and
Speaker 1: the whole week. This is what is going to happen
Speaker 1: because of this stupid week long delay. There's nothing we'll
Speaker 1: talk about, how there's nothing even to investigate. In a moment,
Speaker 1: They're going to come at Kavanaugh with all the fury
Speaker 1: of the most frenzied, pink hat wearing, Antifa loving psychopaths,
Speaker 1: all of it. The media is going to amplify it
Speaker 1: and every way they can. They are they have picked
Speaker 1: sides here, we know it. It couldn't be any more clear.
Speaker 1: And they are going to say that the time is
Speaker 1: not enough. They begged and begged and begged and pleaded
Speaker 1: and and and cajoled and yelled and threatened and demanded
Speaker 1: that there was just just a little more, just do
Speaker 1: the FBI investigation. When the FBI comes back and says
Speaker 1: this is not enough, this is or rather this is
Speaker 1: the end there's nothing else for us to do. The
Speaker 1: left is going to say, there's more to investigate. How
Speaker 1: dare you think this is over look at Republicans. They
Speaker 1: don't take this seriously. What's the rush. You've already reopened
Speaker 1: the background investigation. What's the rush? That's going to be
Speaker 1: the talking point? They'll forget that. The talking point had been, Oh,
Speaker 1: this will be over quickly, why don't you just do it?
Speaker 1: Just like a few days ago, they were saying, look
Speaker 1: at all the old white men that will be questioning forward,
Speaker 1: and then when they brought in a woman to question forward,
Speaker 1: it was, oh my gosh, these old white men brought
Speaker 1: in a woman to question for it. They don't care,
Speaker 1: my friends. The problem when you're fighting against an enemy
Speaker 1: that has no principles, decency, or honor is that they
Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of options. They'll say any thing.
Speaker 1: They'll pretend to be honest, they'll pretend to be nice,
Speaker 1: they'll pretend to play ball, they'll do anything to get
Speaker 1: what they want. And when power like this is at stake,
Speaker 1: you see the very worst, the very worst of the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. I can only hope and this is the
Speaker 1: the most that I can offer in terms of something
Speaker 1: to feel good about with all this, because this is
Speaker 1: a I'm telling you, this is a trap. This week.
Speaker 1: Delay is a disaster. It is a bad idea, and
Speaker 1: it's unfair. It's unfair to the Kavanaugh family, it's unfair
Speaker 1: to the judge, it's unfair to our system. The whole thing.
Speaker 1: This is a disaster. But you know what's going on.
Speaker 1: I know what's going on. The word is out. I
Speaker 1: have not seen conservatives, so I mean conservatives now, and
Speaker 1: I mean across the board. If you are not on
Speaker 1: team Kavanaugh, by the way, you are not a conservative
Speaker 1: at this point. If you're somebody that thinks that this
Speaker 1: should still be going on like this, you cannot call
Speaker 1: yourself a conservative. You are a Democrat or a leftist.
Speaker 1: You are not a conservative. But I have never seen
Speaker 1: conservatives so united and fired up. Some of the fractures
Speaker 1: that we've seen, even with the never trumpers have gone away.
Speaker 1: They realize there's more at stake here than just intra
Speaker 1: party disputes. This is about the character and nature of
Speaker 1: our country and the very system that it relies on,
Speaker 1: so that there is justice and there is decency here
Speaker 1: in America and the roar of the people in this
Speaker 1: country who still believe in that decency on honor and justice,
Speaker 1: I hope will be deafening in the mid terms and
Speaker 1: will drown out the hysterical, shrieking nonsense of the left
Speaker 1: in the best way possible, which is to strip them
Speaker 1: of the power that they are tessed with obtaining. We'll
Speaker 1: get into more of this in just a moment. Stay
Speaker 1: with me. She was totally and completely incompetent in terms
Speaker 1: of asking cross examination question because she has little experience.
Speaker 1: For example, the main issue now is whether or not
Speaker 1: she recognized Kavanaugh correctly. She was never asked whether how
Speaker 1: well she knew him, how many times she encountered him
Speaker 1: before this, how close was their relationship. There was nothing
Speaker 1: that could raise questions about whether, even if she believes
Speaker 1: she's telling the truth, she may have misidentified. So she
Speaker 1: just did a terrible job, and I think the Republicans
Speaker 1: realized that, and they candor right in the middle. But
Speaker 1: it was a very bad choice. Totally agree with the
Speaker 1: dirsh It was a bust. I mean that they could
Speaker 1: have called it. I know, I know, I know female lawyers.
Speaker 1: I mean I wish I would have put my sister
Speaker 1: in there. She wouldn't know a way better job. I
Speaker 1: know female lawyers that would have done an infinitely better
Speaker 1: job then what we saw occurring with Mitchell's career proscot.
Speaker 1: It was like she was taking a victim's statement. Her
Speaker 1: whole approach was what you should do when you were
Speaker 1: taking the statement of somebody who's making allegation in the
Speaker 1: district attorney's office or in a in a police station.
Speaker 1: But that's not what her role was supposed to be.
Speaker 1: Her role was supposed to be. Okay, I'm gonna ask
Speaker 1: you questions to see are you one telling the truth?
Speaker 1: And to do you have enough facts to offer if
Speaker 1: you are telling the truth that we can know that
Speaker 1: this happened. It was. It was terrible. I was shocked
Speaker 1: at how bad it was. And and it was by
Speaker 1: the way, it was one of the reasons why I
Speaker 1: think the perception was that Ford was doing so well
Speaker 1: in this whole thing. She was a total cream puff interview.
Speaker 1: There was nothing she She's never asked the question, no
Speaker 1: really explained to us. Why so everybody that you name
Speaker 1: says that they don't remember this. Why do you you
Speaker 1: remember this? They don't remember this? What are we what
Speaker 1: are we to make of that? Oh, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't really know, and someone was sick or something, She said,
Speaker 1: Why do you not remember the person who took you home?
Speaker 1: Someone had to drive you home. Were you normal in
Speaker 1: the car ride with that person? You wouldn't be. You
Speaker 1: think this terrible thing just happening. Why would you leave
Speaker 1: behind your best friend, who is a fifteen year old
Speaker 1: girl just like you after you think you've almost been
Speaker 1: attacked by two predators who planned this out? Obviously based
Speaker 1: on the way she talked about it. How is it
Speaker 1: that nobody downstairs heard her when she screamed? She said,
Speaker 1: because the music was so loud. That must have been
Speaker 1: quite a speaker system. She's screaming. No one downstairs. A
Speaker 1: small house, there's four maybe five people, She's not sure,
Speaker 1: by the way, who are there. No one hears anything.
Speaker 1: She runs out after she locks herself in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: No one notices anything strange. None of the other people
Speaker 1: they are, including her best friend, who is a girl,
Speaker 1: realizes that she's gone. Suddenly not credible. This story is
Speaker 1: not credible. But I just did a better job cross
Speaker 1: examining her. In two minutes and fifty seconds, Then that
Speaker 1: woman did with you know, however many five minute blocks
Speaker 1: she had. That's why it looks so bad for Cavanaugh.
Speaker 1: There was no opposition, there was nobody else to to
Speaker 1: say a hold on a second. There was just a
Speaker 1: lot of like, you're so brave, You're so brave for
Speaker 1: coming out here. You know, we gotta watch that. You're
Speaker 1: so brave. Stuff is to what was to want a
Speaker 1: brawley so brave? Was she so brave? I just want
Speaker 1: to know should she have been said and told that
Speaker 1: she was brave by you know, every center in the country.
Speaker 1: Media treated that story very seriously. Somebody lost their life
Speaker 1: because of By the way, what they did to Cavanaugh
Speaker 1: is the kind of thing that drives a person to
Speaker 1: take their own life. By the way, that level of
Speaker 1: public humiliation and intentional sadism and character assassination that could
Speaker 1: leave somebody take his own life. That's how I wanted
Speaker 1: to curse there messed up what happened to Kavanaugh was
Speaker 1: and that Mitchell sat there like this, you know, meek
Speaker 1: uh secretary just writing down all the answers that she
Speaker 1: was getting was appalling. They said it sent it Gill Pete,
Speaker 1: they you know, call me man. I thought they had
Speaker 1: staffs at least knew what's going on. A moronic decision
Speaker 1: to have that woman yesterday. I'm glad that Durst called
Speaker 1: it out. But we gotta talk more about the FBI
Speaker 1: investigation that's coming up, that's next, claim opportunities to get
Speaker 1: to the truth. This has never been about the truth.
Speaker 1: This has been about delay and destruction. And if we
Speaker 1: reward this, it is the end of good people wanting
Speaker 1: to be judges. It is the end of any concept
Speaker 1: of the rule of law. It's the beginning of a
Speaker 1: process that will tear this country apart. And if I
Speaker 1: am chairman next year, if we keep the majority and
Speaker 1: Senator Draft Lee moves over, and I hope he doesn't,
Speaker 1: because as I think he's done a great job, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna remember this. There's the process before Kavanaugh, in the
Speaker 1: process after Kavanaugh. If you want to bet the nominee,
Speaker 1: you can. If you want to delay things for the
Speaker 1: next election, you will not. If you try to destroy somebody,
Speaker 1: you will not get away with it. I've never heard
Speaker 1: a more compelling defense of one's honor and integrity than
Speaker 1: I did from Brett Kavanaugh. He looked me in the eye,
Speaker 1: everybody in the eye, and he was mad, and he
Speaker 1: should have been mad. Brett Kavanaugh and women, if you're
Speaker 1: a gang rapist when you're a sophomore and a junior
Speaker 1: in high school, you don't let it go. Every woman
Speaker 1: who actually knows Brett Kavanaugh has come forward to say
Speaker 1: he is not that kind of guy. He has been
Speaker 1: at the highest level of public service under tremendous scrutiny,
Speaker 1: six FBI investigations, and we missed the sophomore junior gang rapist.
Speaker 1: We didn't miss it. It's much garbage. As a prosecutor,
Speaker 1: you couldn't get out of the batter's box because in America,
Speaker 1: before you can shoot, accuse somebody but crime, you have
Speaker 1: to tell them when it happened and where it happened,
Speaker 1: and you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt it
Speaker 1: did happen. The reason this case will never be brought
Speaker 1: in Maryland or anywhere else, you just can't get there.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I know. I'm a single white male from
Speaker 1: South Carolina, and I've told I should shut up, but
Speaker 1: I will not shut up if that's okay, because I
Speaker 1: got here the same way everybody else did. The people
Speaker 1: in South Carolina voted for me and Senator Scott to
Speaker 1: be their voice men and women, and I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to be their voice today and uh, maybe not just
Speaker 1: for South Carolina, but a little bit about what I
Speaker 1: think is going on here. Team Lindsay, sign me up
Speaker 1: for Team Lindsay. Man, you know, I don't know. What
Speaker 1: I want to know is how is it that not
Speaker 1: every Republican on the Judiciary Committee has that same fire
Speaker 1: in the belly that he does over this? I think
Speaker 1: Grassley in his own way. I mean he's trying to
Speaker 1: sort of keep it, but Grassly, you know, he throws
Speaker 1: some gruffness around when he has to, but nobody. Ben Sass,
Speaker 1: by the way, what a little quizzling punk. Where is
Speaker 1: he on this? Ben Sass? Mr? Principles, Mr Mr, I'm
Speaker 1: the real conservative, but maybe I'm gonna leave the Republican Party. Mike,
Speaker 1: did you see him do anything up there? I mean
Speaker 1: I can't even remember a single Ben Sas moment where
Speaker 1: I go, oh, he's actually showing something. He hasn't completely
Speaker 1: sold out, forgettable, totally forgettable. It's like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: want to be the person that people think. It's like
Speaker 1: me and the people who are suffering a trauma that's
Speaker 1: all he's got. It's just it's so funny to see
Speaker 1: when it counts. Man. This is just it's such an
Speaker 1: important life lesson to you really know who's who and
Speaker 1: what's what when things get tough and you look around
Speaker 1: and who's there. That's what I say with with Lindsey Graham,
Speaker 1: and we're really easy to sit back and just be like, well,
Speaker 1: I think she might be believed, and you know, just
Speaker 1: not do much instead, Lindsay. Lindsay made the speech from
Speaker 1: Braveheart before They Take the Field that the Battle of
Speaker 1: sterling Bridge in the movies in the field in reality
Speaker 1: was right out right next to a bridge. The whole
Speaker 1: other thing. Talk with that an other time that did
Speaker 1: some history shows. Again, the Lindsay was, he's just been
Speaker 1: great on this one and and it's uh and I
Speaker 1: think it's so funny too that I saw some left
Speaker 1: wing push back and oh they hate Lindsay Graham now
Speaker 1: they like him, Yeah, because what he did was amazing, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Senator heron No is a moron,
Speaker 1: not like I don't. I don't like her. I think
Speaker 1: that she's actually stupid. But if she cured cancer next week,
Speaker 1: I would think she's a genius and I would really
Speaker 1: appreciate her. I don't think she's going to do that.
Speaker 1: But with new things comes new judgments. And Lindsey Graham,
Speaker 1: for me, went from a guy who spent a little
Speaker 1: too much time talking about which countries we should bomb
Speaker 1: without really thinking through all the time what was going on,
Speaker 1: to a guy who saw that a man's honor was
Speaker 1: being just just in slow motion like they were. It's
Speaker 1: like they were pulling out his fingernails on TV. It
Speaker 1: was such a disgrace. And he jumped in there and
Speaker 1: he's like, who wants a piece? You know, I'm not
Speaker 1: you know, he said, he's not going to forget. I
Speaker 1: don't think any of us should forget. In terms of
Speaker 1: the Republicans who showed up, who was real. They were
Speaker 1: so scared of looking like they were. They were being
Speaker 1: mean to that mean to that woman. They were so
Speaker 1: scared of being mean to that woman. They almost let
Speaker 1: a flimsy allegation derail the Supreme Court nomination destroy Kavanaugh's life.
Speaker 1: And what what if Trump had come out and said,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna replace him before his testimony.
Speaker 1: Now you're saying that wouldn't have happened. It could have happened.
Speaker 1: We don't even need to hear from it were and
Speaker 1: replace him. Let's let's end this for the country's sake.
Speaker 1: That could have happened. That's how bad the Republicans were
Speaker 1: in that initial hearing with Ford, and thank heavens, Lindsey
Speaker 1: Graham was there, Thank heavens, he was able to make
Speaker 1: the case. Now, dirsh is one of those people that
Speaker 1: says that we should have this background check here. I
Speaker 1: gotta you know the dirst is wrong sometimes, Well, let
Speaker 1: me let me hear what he says before I I
Speaker 1: get too deep into this with him. Play clip five. Please. Well,
Speaker 1: when I watched her, I really thought she was extremely credible,
Speaker 1: and I had grave doubts as to whether he could
Speaker 1: win the credibility contests. But then he made this remarkable comeback,
Speaker 1: and he really testified in a completely compelling manner. So
Speaker 1: I think in the end there is a tie when
Speaker 1: it comes to personal credibility. So how do you break
Speaker 1: the tie? I think one way is to for corroboration,
Speaker 1: and he has much more corroboration on his side. Now,
Speaker 1: the best way to make sure that corroboration is accurate
Speaker 1: is for the committee to call the other witnesses and
Speaker 1: let the FBI continue its background check. And I think
Speaker 1: in the end it will do him more good than harm.
Speaker 1: I think I think the dirsh is he's thinking about
Speaker 1: this like a lawyer and not a brawler, and this
Speaker 1: is a brawl. They're they're not going to play by
Speaker 1: the rules. Man. They're not going to just want to
Speaker 1: bring witnesses forward. They're gonna by the way, there's going
Speaker 1: to be intimidation of people who come forward. There's going
Speaker 1: to be enormous pressure. And when it comes forward to
Speaker 1: say maybe just a little something, you know, Mike. One
Speaker 1: thing I've been thinking about is if if she had
Speaker 1: had just one person willing to say the following, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember that night. I don't remember the details, but
Speaker 1: I remember something. I remember something like that happened, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, completely unfalsifiable statement talking about thirty something
Speaker 1: on years ago. If one of the people that they
Speaker 1: had already asked about this had said, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: something like that happened, he'd be done. Done. All it
Speaker 1: takes is one. Instead, every person they've talked to you
Speaker 1: has been like, I just do not remember anything like that,
Speaker 1: and I would know about this. Um, so keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. I mean, I think that the way we're
Speaker 1: looking at this, it's, oh, we haven't you know, if
Speaker 1: we just keep looking around, we keep digging the fact
Speaker 1: that they haven't already found somebody who's been willing to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: this thing kind of happened. The fact that they don't
Speaker 1: have a person driving her home who can who can
Speaker 1: corroborate this. They don't have her telling her parents right afterwards,
Speaker 1: or her friends or anybody within you know, thirty years
Speaker 1: of the event. They don't have any of the things
Speaker 1: that you think would be there that would be just
Speaker 1: all she needs is one one corroborating data point and
Speaker 1: he would have been done. She doesn't have one because
Speaker 1: this didn't happen. But that's you know, people can, and
Speaker 1: I trust me. I've been getting yelled at this, all
Speaker 1: yelled at for this all week. Um, Can I tell
Speaker 1: them what you told me about CNN? By the way,
Speaker 1: I thought that was great, But remember when you called,
Speaker 1: we talked today about CNN. Can I tell the audience
Speaker 1: about this so pruser might calls. We were just chatting,
Speaker 1: catching up and talking before we do the show. He's
Speaker 1: just like, man, I think you said about CNN. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: and I gave him some of the details about who
Speaker 1: it was, what happened. He's like, that's when you know
Speaker 1: you're over the target. Brother. I was like, that's right.
Speaker 1: When cnn' is like, maybe you should be a little
Speaker 1: more careful with your reputation before taking these strong stands,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, I'm getting to you punks over there.
Speaker 1: Huh seeing this in your timeline a little too much?
Speaker 1: People are people are magnifying some of the points I'm
Speaker 1: making to the degree that it's getting up on your
Speaker 1: radar and you don't like it, And that's why you
Speaker 1: know it's time to hit it harder. When se Ann says, stop,
Speaker 1: you're hurting me, that's when you got a swing harder. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't like it. CNN doesn't like it. Ah, the
Speaker 1: worst they are the worst. Um. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: give a few more points or about the the FBI probe. Um,
Speaker 1: they're already. Well, you get Chris Coons, who's just a grandstanding,
Speaker 1: grandstanding slimeball in this one. Here's what he said about it.
Speaker 1: What I'm encouraged by is that in a anti room
Speaker 1: back hall conversation, first with Senator Flake, and then with
Speaker 1: Senator Feinstein, and then with many other senators of both parties. Um,
Speaker 1: there was a broad agreement UM that that this committee
Speaker 1: has been two divided into two partisan in this process. UM,
Speaker 1: and a hope that by having the FBI look into
Speaker 1: these allegations for just a few more days, limited in
Speaker 1: scope and time, that we can both show respect for
Speaker 1: victims who have come forward with allegations and give Judge
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh some prospect of his name being cleared in some
Speaker 1: ways before a final vote, and give the members of
Speaker 1: the committee and of the Senate some reason to have
Speaker 1: more confidence before proceeding to a final vote. Deeply grateful, Senator.
Speaker 1: If you're playing Super Mario Brothers, what is that weird noise? Um? Mario,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you remember what he said there just
Speaker 1: a few days in scope. He is a cold stone liar.
Speaker 1: There is no way, There is no way that next
Speaker 1: week he'll say, Okay, the FBI says they've done their thing.
Speaker 1: That's enough, that's enough. No way. Now we're rewarding bad behavior.
Speaker 1: We are rewarding the Democrat Party as a hostage taker here.
Speaker 1: We're bringing them food and giving them bags of cash
Speaker 1: and saying you're not gonna take hostages again. Right, You're
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. You're promising us you're not gonna
Speaker 1: do it. Total total disgrace. Coons has already trying to
Speaker 1: tip his hand a little bit. There is understandable concern
Speaker 1: on the part of many senators and the other caucus
Speaker 1: that they expressed in our Judiciary Committee meeting um that
Speaker 1: there will simply be additional allegation is coming forward. If
Speaker 1: there are, I think they should be investigated. But what
Speaker 1: Senator Flake has proffered and what I support, is the
Speaker 1: idea that it should be no more than a one
Speaker 1: week delay before a final vote, and that frankly, the
Speaker 1: current allegations um should be sufficient for the FBI to
Speaker 1: give some further input to the members of the committee
Speaker 1: about whether there are or are not reasons for there
Speaker 1: to be some cloud hanging over Judge Kavanaugh's domination. They're
Speaker 1: they're they're open. The door is open, just a little bit.
Speaker 1: It only has to be opened, just just a tiny,
Speaker 1: tiny bit. This is what is going to happen. By
Speaker 1: the way, what do we think of Sheila Jackson Lee
Speaker 1: giving the attorney in envelope. You've seen that video remember
Speaker 1: the house giving giving forwards attorney and like slipping it
Speaker 1: to him kinda, there's so much Mike, you know it, Brandon,
Speaker 1: you know, there's so much dirty going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying illegal. I'm just saying there's so much
Speaker 1: dirty tricks and foul play, and if we knew, if
Speaker 1: we were ever able, maybe we will get some sense
Speaker 1: of it, to find out how orchestrated all this was
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and what's been happening here. It would
Speaker 1: make your head spin. I mean, I'm not gonna sit
Speaker 1: here and be like, was Sauros he was behind it though,
Speaker 1: But I mean maybe I know people say that saying
Speaker 1: it's Soros is like is like when the Left blames
Speaker 1: the Koch brothers, except Soros actually does a lot of
Speaker 1: shapy stuff. Like you know, just because you say it's
Speaker 1: Soros doesn't mean it's not true. It doesn't mean you're crazy.
Speaker 1: What I think I could just picture Shield jaccidentally go
Speaker 1: and this is from Georgie Baby for you, for you
Speaker 1: something something very sketchy going on there. So anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm not I'm noticing that that there are people
Speaker 1: that are starting to think, oh, it's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: it's we're going to the weekend. It's our natural inclination
Speaker 1: to are to take the approach of it's gonna calm down. Nope, everybody,
Speaker 1: get ready for what you have seen, unfortunately is just
Speaker 1: an appetizer of awful. But the evil entree is going
Speaker 1: to get served up and it's gonna be rough. This
Speaker 1: whole two week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated
Speaker 1: political hit, fueled with apparent pent up anger about President
Speaker 1: Trump and the two thousand and sixteen election, fear that
Speaker 1: has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on
Speaker 1: behalf of the Clintons, and millions of dollars in money
Speaker 1: from outside left wing opposition groups. This is a circus.
Speaker 1: The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences
Speaker 1: will be with us for decades. This grotesque and coordinated
Speaker 1: character assassination will dissuade competent and good people of all
Speaker 1: political persuasions from serving our country. And, as we all know,
Speaker 1: in the United States political system of the early two thousand's,
Speaker 1: what goes around comes around. Remember those words of Kavanaugh,
Speaker 1: don't forget about it, and I don't want you to
Speaker 1: just spread the word by sharing this show. That would
Speaker 1: be very helpful too, Quite honestly, because I've been on
Speaker 1: the front lines of the Kavanaugh fight in public from
Speaker 1: the very beginning. I'm in contact with the team that's
Speaker 1: trying to push kavanaf through. So I've been very much
Speaker 1: involved in this process. But if you want to get involved, Producer, Mike,
Speaker 1: what can you tell us? I have the Washington d
Speaker 1: C Office phone numbers of some of our senators who
Speaker 1: are on the fence here. So if our awesome listeners
Speaker 1: would like to give him a call, I like it.
Speaker 1: Voice their display sure of what's been going on here?
Speaker 1: You go, get a pen, get some paper. Here we
Speaker 1: are Senator Jeff Lake his numbers two zero two to
Speaker 1: two four four five to one. Senator Joe Manson phone
Speaker 1: number two zero two to two, four three nine five four,
Speaker 1: Heidi high Camp two zero two to two, four to
Speaker 1: zero four three, Susan Collins to zero two to two,
Speaker 1: four to five to three, and Lisa Murkowski two zero
Speaker 1: two to two four six six six five. I would say, team,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe let up the board a little bit, Maybe
Speaker 1: give him a ring, Let them know what you think,
Speaker 1: let them know that this is about so much more
Speaker 1: than just a Supreme Court seat. This is about what
Speaker 1: kind of country we are living in. What is the
Speaker 1: character of this nation, How do we treat people? What
Speaker 1: do we allow our government to do? Do individual rights?
Speaker 1: Does individual dignity matter? Does honor matter at all in
Speaker 1: public life? Anymore? Let them know and team, I don't
Speaker 1: have to tell you what to say, because I know
Speaker 1: all of you listening you know exactly what to say.
Speaker 1: Please do feel free to light up those lines. So
Speaker 1: I'll give you the number. And if you missed those numbers,
Speaker 1: well download the podcast and you can play it back
Speaker 1: and you'll get all those numbers as much as you want.
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts The Buck Sexton Show, our two coming up.

Speaker 1: them here on the show. I'm sure most of you,
Speaker 1: maybe almost all of you, drink coffee like I do
Speaker 1: every day. But if you want to avoid those COMI
Speaker 1: corporate brands, drink the good stuff. I know you're supporting
Speaker 1: veterans and patriots. Black Rifle Coffee is what you want. Again,
Speaker 1: Black Rifle Coffee dot com slash Buck. We hear from
Speaker 1: the witnesses, but the FBI isn't interviewing them and isn't
Speaker 1: giving us any facts. So all we have you're interviewing me.
Speaker 1: You're interviewing me. You're you're doing it, senator. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to interrupt, but you're doing it. That's that there's no
Speaker 1: conclusions reached. And what you're saying, if if I understand it,
Speaker 1: is that the allegations by Dr Ford, Mr. Ramirez and
Speaker 1: Miss Fett sweat nick Um are are wrong. That that
Speaker 1: is emphatically what I'm saying emphatically, the sweat Nick thing
Speaker 1: is a joke, that is a farce. Would you like
Speaker 1: to say more about it? No good for him? Feinstein trash,
Speaker 1: just total trash, not just in the hearing all of it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, she didn't leak anything. It just sort
Speaker 1: of came out. I noticed that she was willing to
Speaker 1: even push forward under the bus with saying well, maybe
Speaker 1: it was her friends, maybe it was her beach friends
Speaker 1: that that leaked the information that producer Mike, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, we're gonna find out at some
Speaker 1: point that the beach friends thing, because really what that
Speaker 1: was all about, and that's why this prosecutor lady yesterday
Speaker 1: Mitchell was going down that path is this was orchestrated.
Speaker 1: I mean, there were people that were there. The story
Speaker 1: that we've been told is that she came forward because
Speaker 1: of all the trauma and it was her civic duty.
Speaker 1: The reality is there were big, heavy hitter, deep pocket
Speaker 1: Democrat donors, fixers and politicos who were all over this thing,
Speaker 1: all over it and if it was a criminal investigation,
Speaker 1: by the way, we might actually be able to do
Speaker 1: things like subpoena emails and communications. But they know it's not.
Speaker 1: It's a background check, so we're never gonna see who
Speaker 1: she talked to. We're never gonna see what the phone
Speaker 1: calls are. People say, oh buck, she wouldn't, Line wrote, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they were smart at her legal team,
Speaker 1: as you saw from them sitting there. We're smart enough
Speaker 1: to make sure that they we're running all the ops
Speaker 1: for her and keeping her just in the dark enough
Speaker 1: that she could keep this whole sort of Oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on, this kind of naive. I'm
Speaker 1: just doing my civic duty routine. Dude. They that's what
Speaker 1: the beach friends bull crap. There's no way, there's no
Speaker 1: way that that is actually that that's just how this
Speaker 1: all came together here. Oh yeah, they just paid for
Speaker 1: her polygraph. Let me tell you something about lawyers. Okay,
Speaker 1: lawyers don't just show up and start paying for things
Speaker 1: for you just because not not not to be mean
Speaker 1: to any lawyers. I got a family member who's one,
Speaker 1: But I've never heard of a lawyer who's like, not
Speaker 1: only am I doing this pro bono. I'm going to
Speaker 1: cover your expenses. They're covering her expenses. That's why the
Speaker 1: whole polygraph thing, you know, she's like, I don't know
Speaker 1: who paid for the polygraph. That's significant. Mike. Do you
Speaker 1: think that if you were, if you were testifying before Congress,
Speaker 1: they would pay for your stuff? No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think that would happen. And I mentioned to
Speaker 1: you yesterday about her beach friends um from Santa Cruz
Speaker 1: Is where they're talking about, which is one of the
Speaker 1: most leftist, progressive radical cities possibly in the United States.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's obviously a progressive radical by by the way,
Speaker 1: I actually know the stats on this in the medical profession,
Speaker 1: and she's not an m D. So I do this
Speaker 1: whole calling her doctor thing all the time gets a
Speaker 1: little old. She's a professor, she has a PhD. But
Speaker 1: getting a PhD in psychology is you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: a thing. Okay, But I mean, I'm just I'll leave
Speaker 1: it there. But she but but psychology in particular, of
Speaker 1: all of the academic medical disciplines is by far the
Speaker 1: most left wing. It's like in the pent range is
Speaker 1: basically what you get with college professors that psychiatrists and
Speaker 1: psychologists are overwhelmingly left wing. Surgeons, interestingly enough, are actually
Speaker 1: generally uh they skew a little conservative because they fixed
Speaker 1: stuff and there's no like, oh, like the guy's heart
Speaker 1: stopped pumping. But you know, I tried, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like there's real cause and effect and consequence,
Speaker 1: and there's a kind of swagger to it, whereas you
Speaker 1: know people that are it's like why they dominate the
Speaker 1: social sciences too. There there there's no science in the
Speaker 1: social sciences anyway. So here's why I bring up though
Speaker 1: this the sweat nick allegations as as a part of
Speaker 1: all is I mean, the reason I wanted to spend
Speaker 1: a little bit of time on that with you is
Speaker 1: if you think that's bad and and here's another prediction.
Speaker 1: And as folks know, and I'm trying to scale back them,
Speaker 1: I wasn't I right? Wasn't I right? All right? I
Speaker 1: take these things to heart, but I am write a
Speaker 1: lot uh next week, Mike, this stuff that they're gonna
Speaker 1: come out with about that, it's going to be there
Speaker 1: because they don't care. Right at this point, they've already
Speaker 1: thrown up. The media is thrown away all credibility. They're
Speaker 1: not objective about all this stuff. They'll they'll run a
Speaker 1: story about how Kavanaugh used to torture animals when he
Speaker 1: was eight. Can you prove he didn't torture Fluffy the
Speaker 1: poodle down the block? No, why don't you want an
Speaker 1: investigation by the A s p c A if you're
Speaker 1: torturing of Fluffy? They'll say, the craziest stuff on the planet.
Speaker 1: People don't understand this because this isn't getting reported. There
Speaker 1: have already been straight up massive fabrications about him, submitted
Speaker 1: by people named people to the Senate saying, oh, he
Speaker 1: he raped some woman in Rhode Island on a boat.
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh my god, this is gonna fall
Speaker 1: apart because they gave a location and a time and
Speaker 1: names of people he didn't know. So there's no level
Speaker 1: of crazy now that they won't sink to. And what
Speaker 1: they realize is they have to just come up with
Speaker 1: allegations that you can't disprove, and they'll pile on. They'll
Speaker 1: have more and more people saying, oh, I know, I
Speaker 1: know he got black out drunk. He's a liar. He
Speaker 1: got black cow drunk. They're gonna say that over over.
Speaker 1: How do you prove you never got block out drunk?
Speaker 1: I have a text here from my brother last night. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's go. Because so when do people start writing in
Speaker 1: that Cavanaugh abuse their pets? Oh my gosh, he's right
Speaker 1: on the same way. Absolutely, Yeah, this is where it goes.
Speaker 1: And you know what's gonna be amazing about this. People
Speaker 1: are going to say crazy stuff next week and CNN
Speaker 1: we'll do this kind of pseudo skepticism reporting of it
Speaker 1: where they'll say, like, we cannot confirm yet, but was
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh torturing Fluffy the poodle when he was ten? We
Speaker 1: we have sources on named sources right now. We want
Speaker 1: to protect her. They didn't want to come forward, Mike,
Speaker 1: Fluffy the poodle is at stake here. I mean, don't
Speaker 1: make stuff up. Then Pete can get involved. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm so here's the thing. I'm not making light of
Speaker 1: the first allegation. The third one I am because it's crap.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lie, right, the first allegation, I'm
Speaker 1: a little I think the woman is is delusional. I
Speaker 1: feel sad for her. Uh and obviously any actual salt
Speaker 1: is really serious. But what I'm saying is now that
Speaker 1: they've already broken the barrier of just completely false stuff. Right,
Speaker 1: they started with their strongest punch, and then they tried
Speaker 1: another one to add on, and then they tried for
Speaker 1: a haymaker with the third, but they overreached. But now
Speaker 1: that they've done that, the next level is gonna be
Speaker 1: a whole other it's you know, now it's the floodgates
Speaker 1: are open. Now it's he you know, look, they said
Speaker 1: that mid Romney like basically abused a dog, but but
Speaker 1: he had the dog on the roof of a car.
Speaker 1: Think about the stuff that they've that was mid Romney.
Speaker 1: They made him look like some kind of a dog abuser.
Speaker 1: I feel like mid Romney has probably donated more money to,
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that people have homes for Fluffy
Speaker 1: the poodle and any other human being on the planet.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's but that's what we're gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: get it's gonna go into straight up crazy town now,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna report on it. Like we can't verify this,
Speaker 1: but maybe maybe Kavanaugh is actually into S and M.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't tell you if we have you know,
Speaker 1: there's no evidence of this yet, but you know, if
Speaker 1: he is, there's an abusive streak here. People are saying
Speaker 1: there were Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post among the
Speaker 1: dumbest pundits period, and the fact that they keep referring
Speaker 1: to ads a conservative because she's meant to be. She's
Speaker 1: the I'm just gonna say it, She's the pudgy, unathletic
Speaker 1: kid that you get stuck with in the tug of war.
Speaker 1: Remember on field day and nobody wanted. The kid is
Speaker 1: gonna like, oh, I don't wanted, and they're like uh,
Speaker 1: and they put him there. Now, you might say that
Speaker 1: for tug of war, actually the pudgy kid is good.
Speaker 1: But no, no, because he loses his balance that he
Speaker 1: falls down and then everybody else falls down. Jennifer Ubins
Speaker 1: like that for conservatives. They want her on our team
Speaker 1: because she messes us up. But she's not on our team.
Speaker 1: She's not a conservative. Do you had people last night
Speaker 1: they were saying that Kavanaugh was showing us what he's
Speaker 1: like when he's a belligerent drunk, when he was defending
Speaker 1: himself for charges essentially of gang rape, which doesn't get
Speaker 1: enough that doesn't get enough focus or attention here. He
Speaker 1: wasn't just charged with that first instance. He's been charged.
Speaker 1: I mean they read into the record these other things.
Speaker 1: And that's why when fine Stein brought it up with him.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is any any red blooded American male
Speaker 1: would have gone to the Kavanaugh level and then some
Speaker 1: I might have flipped over a table. I mean I
Speaker 1: might have gone al Pacino incentive a woman threatening to
Speaker 1: take a flamethrow to this place. Although you know, if
Speaker 1: you actually said that in the Senate, I'm sure you'd
Speaker 1: get into a lot of trouble. But you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, it's crazy. Um, it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's a pretty remarkable situation. It's like you've said before
Speaker 1: with in regards to Reuben, you said many times how
Speaker 1: the Republican never trumpers or even worse than the Democrats
Speaker 1: who hate him. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. They really they
Speaker 1: really do hate him, though I hate him more than
Speaker 1: anything else. So I just I want to prepare everybody.
Speaker 1: I want to prepare everybody and just let them know that, uh,
Speaker 1: next week is gonna be I know that because there's
Speaker 1: this there's this sense that we all have of it
Speaker 1: has to get less crazy. Like, I can't keep being this.
Speaker 1: They can't keep you know, Michael avanat. Avanati's straight up
Speaker 1: saying that it's gonna get He's just gonna come out
Speaker 1: with all this other stuff and he'll say anything, right,
Speaker 1: He's just an attention hore. But you're gonna see stuff
Speaker 1: next week that's gonna I don't know where we go
Speaker 1: from here. I'm not enough of a psychopath to get
Speaker 1: ahead of where the Democrats are going or where their
Speaker 1: allies and the media are gonna go with this. But
Speaker 1: it's funny. Your brother and I we're we're of like mind.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come up with something else that is discrediting
Speaker 1: and you know, dishonorable sounding, and there's nothing that anybody
Speaker 1: could ever do to prove that they're lying. I actually
Speaker 1: have a question for you. Do you think Democrats have
Speaker 1: already overplayed their hand, like they've already done it and
Speaker 1: whatever they do is even gonna get worse for them
Speaker 1: in the maternal Yes, but but they're they're like crazy
Speaker 1: people that they're hysterical. They're not, so they have no
Speaker 1: ability to self correct based upon the overage. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I think they have overreach. But that's why I think
Speaker 1: They're gonna go with something even more bonkers, And I mean,
Speaker 1: how much more bonkers can you get than gang rape
Speaker 1: parties where Kavanaugh was waiting in line outside of them.
Speaker 1: You know, there are some things that I could There
Speaker 1: are things that I can believe about certain people in
Speaker 1: certain situations looking into the darkest moment in their soul,
Speaker 1: that is not one of them with this guy. Given
Speaker 1: all the other circumstances around it, too, nobody knew about this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I had a congresswoman on on Rising and
Speaker 1: I said, I said, Congresswoman, honestly, she's a Democrat, of course,
Speaker 1: is that Are you you really think that this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff I mean that happens are the gang rape
Speaker 1: parties that that women keep going to where they know
Speaker 1: this is going to happen. She said, yeah, she's heard
Speaker 1: of things like that, and I wasn't able to push
Speaker 1: her into more specifics because we had to end the interview.
Speaker 1: But I was like, come on, really, I've I grew
Speaker 1: up in New York City. That was the other thing.
Speaker 1: Two people I was getting some people like, well, what
Speaker 1: do you know about prep DC schools in the eighties.
Speaker 1: I'm like, actually, kind of know a lot about what
Speaker 1: that's like. Uh, kind of kind of my wheelhouse. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I've never heard of and a thing anything that
Speaker 1: even vaguely resembled the third the Sweatneck allegations. That was
Speaker 1: space aliens landing from Mars level crazy. So where do
Speaker 1: you go from there? I don't really know. All Right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back. We're gonna talk to a guy
Speaker 1: about campus craziness to this hour, So stick around for
Speaker 1: that and much more. I told the story of my
Speaker 1: sexual assault. I told it because I recognize and her
Speaker 1: story that she's telling that truth. What you're doing is
Speaker 1: allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in
Speaker 1: a Supreme court don't matter. They should just keep it
Speaker 1: to themselves because if they have told the truth, you're
Speaker 1: just gonna help that man to power. Anyway, Guys, what
Speaker 1: you're telling all of these women, guys who you're telling
Speaker 1: me right now? Look, tell mean, when I'm talking to you,
Speaker 1: you're telling me that myself doesn't matter, what happened to
Speaker 1: me doesn't matter, and that you're gonna let me people
Speaker 1: look and do these things into the power. So clearly
Speaker 1: people are and women in this case who are confronting
Speaker 1: Jeff flake in that audio sound, but in in the elevator, uh,
Speaker 1: at Capitol Hill, I mean in the Senate building. Um,
Speaker 1: they are hysterical about this, and you see there, and
Speaker 1: I feel very badly for for anyone who this this
Speaker 1: dredges up the incredibly painful memories of an assault. But
Speaker 1: we we also have to draw a hard line here,
Speaker 1: and the line is that just because a person was
Speaker 1: assaulted by somebody does not mean that we should act
Speaker 1: like Kavanaugh is guilty, act like there is evidence against
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh to support that charge, and throw him to the wolves,
Speaker 1: because somehow it will send a message to people who
Speaker 1: have actually been sexually assaulted that we take this seriously.
Speaker 1: Our system is premised upon individual rights, freedom and justice.
Speaker 1: There is no provisoh, there's no carve out for collective
Speaker 1: punishment based on no no, no no, No matter how sad
Speaker 1: something makes someone, no matter how terrible an ordeal they've
Speaker 1: gone through, collective punishment is in fact anti justice, or rather,
Speaker 1: punishment for an individual because of the whims or the
Speaker 1: needs or desires of the collective is inherently unjust. Every
Speaker 1: case has to be judged on its merits. This is
Speaker 1: not a hard case on the merits if an allegation,
Speaker 1: no matter how credible, without any supporting witnesses, corroboration, or evidence,
Speaker 1: and with massive holes in the story and in the
Speaker 1: timeline of the story, as well as decades of eroding memory,
Speaker 1: because that is what happens over the course of decades
Speaker 1: from an incident. If just the allegation is enough to
Speaker 1: create guilt and the consequences of guilt, we are living
Speaker 1: in a different country. And I blame the media a
Speaker 1: lot for creating this dynamic where women really do seem
Speaker 1: to believe not all women, but obviously some women like
Speaker 1: the ones at Capitol Hill, who are not just protesting,
Speaker 1: but who are engaged in civil disobedience and who are
Speaker 1: getting arrested, and who are so upset about what's gone
Speaker 1: on here to the point where they're irrational about it.
Speaker 1: One individuals assault. I mean, if I if I had,
Speaker 1: let's say, I had a close friend who was, you know,
Speaker 1: killed in an act of violence, and then I were
Speaker 1: to wait outside the trial of somebody else who was
Speaker 1: found not guilty of an act of violence, that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that the people in that trial that that jury
Speaker 1: doesn't take violence seriously. It means they think that person
Speaker 1: didn't do it, and we keep skipping past this, We
Speaker 1: keep skipping past that if what Dr Ford says is true,
Speaker 1: there should be other things that would support her account,
Speaker 1: and that the timing of this is all incredibly convenient,
Speaker 1: and the way that her story comes together, where it's
Speaker 1: just enough emotional detail to be damaging, but not nearly
Speaker 1: enough detail that it can be disproven, that I think
Speaker 1: is more than just a little bit suspect. But I
Speaker 1: know people really want to believe this because it also
Speaker 1: makes them feel like they are standing for the side
Speaker 1: of righteousness, when in fact they're standing with evil. I
Speaker 1: don't just mean because of the implications for Row versus Wade.
Speaker 1: I mean because what was televised here with Kavanaugh's hearing
Speaker 1: was a ritualistic humiliation and torture of a good man
Speaker 1: for the amusement and the gratification and the satisfaction of
Speaker 1: the most extreme feminists and left wing demagogues in the country.
Speaker 1: And it was and utter disgrace. And that these people
Speaker 1: then go and chase down senators and scream in their
Speaker 1: faces about this, as if that's going to change anyone's mind,
Speaker 1: just goes to show you that they are having emotional issues.
Speaker 1: I mean there are people who feel very deeply invested
Speaker 1: in the outcome of whether the Senate goes forward this
Speaker 1: or not. And I mean personally and psychologically invested in
Speaker 1: this to a degree that is unhealthy. And that's where
Speaker 1: I start to feel as though this is going to
Speaker 1: take an even uglier turn. It was not long ago
Speaker 1: that a leftist ideologue in this country tried a mass
Speaker 1: assassination of conservative members of Congress at a baseball field
Speaker 1: in Alexandria, Virginia. The media covered it a bit and
Speaker 1: then moved on from it. They try not to bring
Speaker 1: it back up again. When people feel like their fundamental rights,
Speaker 1: in this case the right to abort babies, but also
Speaker 1: they're right to decide who is guilty based upon who
Speaker 1: sounds the most convincing with a a story of sadness
Speaker 1: and emotion. When they feel that right has been taken
Speaker 1: away from them, will they turn to violence? I hope not,
Speaker 1: But none of us know. Dr Ford did not spend
Speaker 1: her entire life preparing for this moment. She did not
Speaker 1: come here with a political agenda. She did not testify
Speaker 1: with a job promotion on the line. She did not
Speaker 1: evade our questions, and she did not demean our motives
Speaker 1: of either Republicans or Democrats. She instead, plainly, with grace
Speaker 1: times emotionally recounted the trauma that she experienced as a
Speaker 1: fifteen year old girl. Trauma has been hunting her for
Speaker 1: the thirty six years since she had nothing to gain,
Speaker 1: everything to lose, are coming for Listen closely to both
Speaker 1: her and Judge Kavana, and I believe her as I
Speaker 1: believed Anita Hill. As he's wrong, wrong about both. I
Speaker 1: gotta say that this the Democrats. I go back and
Speaker 1: forth between wanting to scream with with rage at them
Speaker 1: and then also wanting to kind of just mock and
Speaker 1: laugh at them. I mean that this thing with Lahy,
Speaker 1: it was a huge mistake that Republicans made. It almost
Speaker 1: cost them. It almost cost them a Kavanaugh thing outright
Speaker 1: by having that prosecutor Mitchell. You know that that was
Speaker 1: a huge mistake. I've I got to do it today
Speaker 1: with with a defense attorney a little bit that I
Speaker 1: know about this where it's like, look, man, we both
Speaker 1: know we he's a he's a big Democrat. If you
Speaker 1: had had Ford try to present that story and it,
Speaker 1: first of all, it would never go to a courtroom
Speaker 1: because they would never charge anybody based on the facts
Speaker 1: of this case as we know them. Never, not in
Speaker 1: a million years. It would never be investigated because there's
Speaker 1: nothing that they could use to investigate that other than
Speaker 1: the statements of people that were there, which they already have.
Speaker 1: So there's nothing that they would be able to investigate further.
Speaker 1: And quite honestly, it wouldn't be taken particularly seriously by
Speaker 1: any law enforcement agency because it wouldn't. People keep saying
Speaker 1: there's no statute limitations. Yeah, that would be if he
Speaker 1: actually raped somebody. I mean, there's when you look at
Speaker 1: the actual crime here, she says it's attempted rape. But
Speaker 1: there's there's no way to prove that. There's no way
Speaker 1: to prove there's attempted rape. I mean, there's no actual
Speaker 1: physical penetration. I mean, if she went into a and
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear some anybody else, I just want
Speaker 1: to tell it to you, because we've gotta be honest
Speaker 1: here in the Hut. If she went into a court
Speaker 1: him with this story, her story would have been shredded.
Speaker 1: I don't remember where it was, I don't remember who
Speaker 1: was there, I don't remember anything about what happened. After her.
Speaker 1: I don't know who took me home. I don't know
Speaker 1: what house I you know, I don't know what year,
Speaker 1: I don't this is, but but they act like what
Speaker 1: she did was so was was this incredible act of bravery.
Speaker 1: I mean, she has a half a million dollar go
Speaker 1: fund Me account that's already been set up for her.
Speaker 1: Where you know what's gonna happen with that. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they're gonna say she's gonna donate that money to a
Speaker 1: victim's fund or something. Anybody wanna want to place a
Speaker 1: bet right now as to whether or not she gets
Speaker 1: a seven figure book deal within the next eighteen months
Speaker 1: seven figure book deal, you know, and any and any
Speaker 1: any snide little democrat punk who would want to argue
Speaker 1: with me on that, I'd say, let's let's put some
Speaker 1: money on it. That's how confident I am that they're
Speaker 1: gonna do. They're gonna shower her with cash. She's going
Speaker 1: to hit the the nationwide speaking circuit now as a hero,
Speaker 1: kind of like Anita Hill, who, by the way, followed
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas around Oh so bad. He said such nasty things.
Speaker 1: He was so aggressive and wanted to go on a
Speaker 1: date with me. The fact that people even talk about
Speaker 1: this in the same sentence Clarence Thomas is accused of
Speaker 1: like saying some inappropriate stuff and what a bunch of
Speaker 1: of you know, namby pamby nonsense people are there's the
Speaker 1: whole thing to disgrace in layers or courage. No political agenda. No,
Speaker 1: the political agenda is to ruin a man's life and
Speaker 1: save a Supreme Court seat for the Democrats. They can
Speaker 1: keep on having the industrialized mass slaughter taxpayer subsidized by
Speaker 1: the way of babies. That's actually what this is all about.
Speaker 1: Everything else is noise. Patrick lahy Man, what what these
Speaker 1: people are disgusting? They are disgusting. There is no amount
Speaker 1: of money, there's no job you could have, There's nothing
Speaker 1: you could do that would ever make me treat anybody
Speaker 1: the way they redd cavan all yesterday. Never it's because
Speaker 1: I have some honor and they don't. As we know, folks,
Speaker 1: college campuses are pretty crazy these days. A lot of
Speaker 1: liberal indoctrination over a long period of time has led
Speaker 1: them to be well, just borderline and saying on a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. But where does all of this come from?
Speaker 1: And how bad has it gotten? We have somebody with
Speaker 1: us now who is a true expert in this and
Speaker 1: oh so much more. We're joined by Greg lukyan Off.
Speaker 1: He's the author of the new book The Coddling of
Speaker 1: the American Mind, How good intentions and bad ideas are
Speaker 1: setting up a generation for failure. Also, he is the
Speaker 1: president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Education. Greg,
Speaker 1: great to have you on the show, my friend. Okay,
Speaker 1: so things have always been crazy on college campuses. I've
Speaker 1: told many a story here about, for example, being threatened
Speaker 1: by a whole bunch of student groups with a picketing
Speaker 1: if we threw a Sanco de Mayo party because of
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation. And that was over a decade ago. But
Speaker 1: things have gotten crazier and now people are really taking
Speaker 1: this to new levels. How has it gotten worse? Let's
Speaker 1: first start with that. Well, yeah, I mean for most
Speaker 1: of my career I started. I'm a first amentent lawyer.
Speaker 1: I started right after I got out of law school
Speaker 1: in two thousand one, um, and I've been defending free
Speaker 1: speech on campus for long before this was as much
Speaker 1: of the public conscious as it is now. But for
Speaker 1: almost all that time, up until about uh, the people
Speaker 1: you were likely to get in trouble with were campus bureaucrats.
Speaker 1: They were administrators who wanted to create little free speech
Speaker 1: zones or to create speech codes. The students themselves, when
Speaker 1: asked at least UM, attended to be pretty good on
Speaker 1: free speech. But sometimes around seemingly overnight, you suddenly have
Speaker 1: the request for you know, micro aggression policies, from mandatory
Speaker 1: trigger warning policies UM, for speech codes coming from students,
Speaker 1: and for disinvitations for speakers that they that they didn't like,
Speaker 1: not not to pick at them. We're I'm a hundred
Speaker 1: percent fine with people picketing people for things they don't like,
Speaker 1: but when they're when they're on a campus and you're
Speaker 1: demanding this person can't speak here because I don't like them,
Speaker 1: that that doesn't work. Yeah, and these are these are
Speaker 1: concepts that are our new constructs. You know. For example,
Speaker 1: if folks listening would go back and watch the movie PCU,
Speaker 1: which Greg, I'm sure you've seen. You must have seen PCU, right, Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course. I mean to be in your line of work,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's required. And you see what the
Speaker 1: what the politically correct campus was like in that movie
Speaker 1: from I guess the mid nineties. You know, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff about vegans and the affirmative actions
Speaker 1: talk and all this stuff, and of course the prep
Speaker 1: you white guys are the bad guys, um, But there's
Speaker 1: nothing about trigger warnings. Speech equals violence. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think of all the pernicious ideas that have caught on
Speaker 1: on college campuses, speech equals violence has got to be
Speaker 1: among the world. It's probably the worst. Yeah. No, it's
Speaker 1: a really dangerous idea. My co author for the book
Speaker 1: and I also wrote an article for The Atlantic um
Speaker 1: called why it's a terrible idea to tell students that
Speaker 1: speech is the same thing as violence. It's just a
Speaker 1: bad idea on every level. But the thing that I
Speaker 1: point out is it's not actually a new idea. It's
Speaker 1: an ancient idea, um. For long before we we had
Speaker 1: sort of the Enlightenment, you know, the idea that kind
Speaker 1: of like you should be killed if you if you
Speaker 1: say something with blasphemous that's that that that's most of
Speaker 1: human history. But it's also most of human barbarism. Um.
Speaker 1: So we come up with this with this amazing invention
Speaker 1: of saying, you know what, people are gonna are entitled
Speaker 1: to their opinions, and we're going to really try to
Speaker 1: stick with this. And this is kind of a whole
Speaker 1: idea of the First Amendment that we're no longer going
Speaker 1: to kill each other over if you if I think
Speaker 1: you have the wrong opinions on stuff. So it's as
Speaker 1: if a generation is rediscovering this ancient, terrible idea, like
Speaker 1: it's a new and good idea. We're speaking of Greg
Speaker 1: lukian Off, the who is the author of the Coddling
Speaker 1: of the American Mind. How good intentions and bad ideas
Speaker 1: are setting up a generation for failure. So where does
Speaker 1: so now we we've talked about some of these new
Speaker 1: things trigger warning, deep platforming, right, which means oh no,
Speaker 1: you can't even come speak. It's not just that will
Speaker 1: stand outside and make a rockets. We we will actually
Speaker 1: actively shut down. I mean, I remember, I think it
Speaker 1: was a Jordan Peterson speech that I watched recently on
Speaker 1: YouTube and there was some weird It's I thought it
Speaker 1: was a faulty quality for the recording. No, it was
Speaker 1: people banging on doors and banging on whatever they could
Speaker 1: find outside the auditorium to try to drown him out.
Speaker 1: They really believe this d platforming idea. Greg when did
Speaker 1: this stuff come about? And where do these new and
Speaker 1: honestly more destructive ideas to free speech come from? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, d platforming was an idea that goes back
Speaker 1: to Britain in the nineteen seventies. And originally it was
Speaker 1: like the full title was no platform for fascists, UM
Speaker 1: on it and and uh and unfortunately it wasn't that
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't really an export over to the US. UM.
Speaker 1: But it really started to tick up sometime around two
Speaker 1: thousand nine and then particularly around and that was the
Speaker 1: year where people really noticed, um, that's happening because it
Speaker 1: was no longer UM directed just at clearer conservatives. So
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the media had gotten kind of
Speaker 1: used to people demanding that conservatives b D platforms on campus.
Speaker 1: But it ended up being you know, Christine Lagarde, who's
Speaker 1: the head of the International Monetary Fund, Robert Bersion now
Speaker 1: UM but a lefty UM chancellor of of UC Berkeley,
Speaker 1: and suddenly started to realize that the purity test that
Speaker 1: people had to pass on campus with just getting tougher
Speaker 1: and tougher. Now who also decides what the you know
Speaker 1: I've seen. I think it was just this week USC
Speaker 1: has put out some statement that Ben Shapiro, who is
Speaker 1: somebody that that whose work I really like in respect,
Speaker 1: is a quote advocating for the extermination of whole races.
Speaker 1: Why obviously that's not true. But to they're clearly trying
Speaker 1: to make Ben outside. And by the way, it's the
Speaker 1: best press. I mean, I wish people thought that when
Speaker 1: I was coming to campus, I was saying crazy things.
Speaker 1: It is the best press you could possibly get. But
Speaker 1: who makes these decisions? How do they come to the
Speaker 1: decision about whether you're outside the mainstream you would prefernd
Speaker 1: can remember his name, the guy who wrote the Bell Curve.
Speaker 1: He was up Murray, Yeah, Charles Murray. But Middleburg he
Speaker 1: got physically attacked. Ben Shapiro is getting deep platform. Who
Speaker 1: makes these decisions? Now? Uh well, you know definitely what
Speaker 1: you're talking about there is just the escalation of the rhetoric.
Speaker 1: And one thing that we've heard a lot of the
Speaker 1: kind of a fashionable term is saying that you're just
Speaker 1: by your speech and by your beliefs, you're denying someone
Speaker 1: they're right to exist. And this is this, this is
Speaker 1: totally a victim of concept creep too, because you know,
Speaker 1: first people were saying it about Milo and now people
Speaker 1: are saying that or you know, Richard Spencer, who you
Speaker 1: know is a genuine you know, the white supremacist. But
Speaker 1: now they're going you know, they're going down to people
Speaker 1: like Ben Shapiro. And it's this ongoing effort to to
Speaker 1: to make to keep on shrinking the area of allowable discourse. Now. Also,
Speaker 1: the the Academy has taken steps now and there's I know,
Speaker 1: I think you deal with this in the book from
Speaker 1: our from our discussion before where peer reviewed articles, it's
Speaker 1: not enough to have an addendum, orbition, apology. It's now retraction.
Speaker 1: If if if you offend the politically correct sensibilities of
Speaker 1: the left, you can't just apologize, and you can't just
Speaker 1: say here's the additional point of view or here's how
Speaker 1: it could have done this differently. They want Soviet style
Speaker 1: racing of the you know, of the item in question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's actually that that that's kind of new because
Speaker 1: uproar over articles frot matter. Actually uproar articles is kind
Speaker 1: of novel anyway, because you know, like who reads them
Speaker 1: in the first place, And usually the way you you know,
Speaker 1: fight back is just write another article or write and
Speaker 1: a bead or or or you know, UM put something
Speaker 1: on tweet about it for goodness sake. But in the
Speaker 1: past couple of years it's been uh demands for retractions
Speaker 1: that magazines have actually been following. There was this other
Speaker 1: example that we talked about in the book involving a
Speaker 1: professor Gilly, who almost like on a dare, decided to
Speaker 1: write an article in defense of colonialism. But it was
Speaker 1: very much an intellectual experiment, and they retracted it after
Speaker 1: Gilly himself and the editor of the magazine started getting
Speaker 1: death threats. And I've just never heard of anything like
Speaker 1: this in my career where an academic article which was
Speaker 1: clearly a thought experiment, um, you know, some devil's advocacy
Speaker 1: in it, um starts getting they had to retract a
Speaker 1: paper in the face of death threats. Like that's something
Speaker 1: something was very much changing. And I can tell you
Speaker 1: something I know there's a little off the off, just
Speaker 1: the campus topic. We're speaking to Greg bukian Off, author
Speaker 1: of The Coddling of the American Mind. You can get
Speaker 1: on Amazon right now. I've got a copy. You should
Speaker 1: definitely check it out. But but Craig, I I have
Speaker 1: a friend I won't name him who because he told
Speaker 1: me this kind of you know, just just mano a
Speaker 1: mano uh and uh he said, actually that's not the
Speaker 1: right phrase for that. Whatever man and man. He said
Speaker 1: this to me once that of all the things he's written, UM,
Speaker 1: the single one that got him in the most trouble
Speaker 1: in terms of death threats was about transgenderism. Not abortion,
Speaker 1: not affirmative action, not war, none of that. Transgenderism. And
Speaker 1: that's and that's one of the examples we use in
Speaker 1: the book. UM. Two is Rebecca too Vel and she
Speaker 1: wrote an article after Rachel dolls All became popular Rachel
Speaker 1: Dolazol as the white woman who later in life identified
Speaker 1: as a black female, and it was I was revealed
Speaker 1: that she actually was in fact white, and Um, Rebecca
Speaker 1: too Vell wrote an article saying, you know, are we
Speaker 1: have we decided that she um, your your gender identity
Speaker 1: and your racial identity can both be fluid in the
Speaker 1: same way. And the answer from her peers was not
Speaker 1: just a resounding no, but it's basically blasphemous for you
Speaker 1: to even talk about this. And she was treated, you know,
Speaker 1: we talked, we liken it to a witch hunt in
Speaker 1: the book because people were signing these ritual denunciations of
Speaker 1: her well at the same time, which makes it even
Speaker 1: worse writing or in private saying you know, I'm really sorry,
Speaker 1: what's happening to you here? Until the journal called Hypatia
Speaker 1: retracted the retracted the article, but even then still still
Speaker 1: going after as if she was a genuine blasphemer. And
Speaker 1: I also feel like you've seen much more of the
Speaker 1: left eating its own than ever before because these rules
Speaker 1: and really these these these emotional slash intellectual fashions on
Speaker 1: the left keep changing and changed so rapidly and really
Speaker 1: haphazardly that people get caught up in and don't even
Speaker 1: realize that they've they themselves have transgressed. And it's like, no,
Speaker 1: this is like the you know, a Soviet committee where
Speaker 1: you never know what it's going to be your turn
Speaker 1: to get taken out behind the building. Yeah, and that
Speaker 1: and that has been interesting, you know, Like I always
Speaker 1: describe myself as an old school a CLU guy, and
Speaker 1: there are a lot of you know, older you know,
Speaker 1: people calling sulf liberals who are very pro free speech,
Speaker 1: they believe the free speech movement, and a lot of
Speaker 1: them are really horrified to see the environment that you
Speaker 1: currently have on campus. So, you know, people going after
Speaker 1: Laura Kipness, you know, UM, who was a professor who
Speaker 1: wrote an article saying that the way we enforced Title
Speaker 1: nine has gone too far. And for writing that article
Speaker 1: in the Chronicle Higher Education, she was brought up for
Speaker 1: investigation under Title nine at the university Northwestern University UM.
Speaker 1: The university dropped the charges after she took her investigation public.
Speaker 1: She wrote a book about her experience after that, and
Speaker 1: that was again investigated by the Title line committee at Northwestern.
Speaker 1: So it isn't being this really surreal and it and
Speaker 1: and it ends up being all these like secret hearings.
Speaker 1: It ends up being the you know, cop gask is
Speaker 1: actually appropriate in the circumstance. Now, one more thing before
Speaker 1: I let you go, Greg, anyway, this is going to
Speaker 1: get better? Um, I think it. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to get better because it has to. Not necessarily, it
Speaker 1: could get worse before it gets better. But you just
Speaker 1: can't keep going this. This is such a m This
Speaker 1: is not a good situation for the production of ideas.
Speaker 1: It's not an environment where people are gonna want to
Speaker 1: pay seventy thousand dollars a year for the privilege of
Speaker 1: going to a place where they have to be so
Speaker 1: terrified about opening their mouths. So it just can't keep
Speaker 1: going like this forever. Alright, Gregor Guiana off the colleague
Speaker 1: of the American Mind. Check out the book, Greg, thanks
Speaker 1: so much and good luck. Yeah, thanks for having me. Alright, team,
Speaker 1: got much more coming. I'll be back in just a moment.
Speaker 1: Women across this nation should be outraged what these white
Speaker 1: man senators are doing. Quite to this woman, this is
Speaker 1: all gross strategizing from eleven old white men. It's a
Speaker 1: white man strategy that is politically dumb in my opinion,
Speaker 1: These people in Congress right now, in the very committee,
Speaker 1: these white men, white men by the way, protecting women.
Speaker 1: Why is Joy Behar allowed to call people old? Why
Speaker 1: is Joy Behar allowed to play the age car? That's
Speaker 1: not nice? Joy? All right, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Speaker 1: Keep going. Oh that's it? Oh Joy by ha sounds
Speaker 1: like Hillary to me at least, it's all the same man,
Speaker 1: old white man. What is it with hating old white men.
Speaker 1: I'd rather I'm rather fond of lots of old white men.
Speaker 1: I don't understand what the problem is here. This is now,
Speaker 1: This is now something that the left is repeating all
Speaker 1: the time, and they don't understand how normal people view it.
Speaker 1: They don't seem to pick up on the fact that
Speaker 1: if old white men are going to be hearing about
Speaker 1: how they're you know, how they're talked about by the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the media in general going to the
Speaker 1: mid terms, they may take some degree of offense to it.
Speaker 1: You know why your old white men talking about it.
Speaker 1: It's like, because there's a lot of older white men
Speaker 1: in the country. I don't understand what what why do
Speaker 1: is that that all of a sudden destroys your ability
Speaker 1: to be an objective view a viewpoint on something, to
Speaker 1: to have any analytic sense of what's going on in
Speaker 1: the world or in the country. It's just crazy. But
Speaker 1: these are these are really cultural memes on the left.
Speaker 1: I mean, these are things that you expect to These
Speaker 1: are things you expect to see and to hear from
Speaker 1: people on the on the left with increasingly because once
Speaker 1: some of them start to say then they all parrot it.
Speaker 1: Then they all will say it and it just slips
Speaker 1: into their their discourse. So now when someone goes on
Speaker 1: TV and they're not particularly interesting or smart, they know
Speaker 1: they need to be like, well, I just get so
Speaker 1: upset about the old white men out there and goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: like what are you even say? We're talking about tax policy?
Speaker 1: Like what is this? That's great? So this is happening now.
Speaker 1: Old white men are bad, apparently, according to Democrat parties.
Speaker 1: A lot of old producer, Mike, if you crunch the numbers,
Speaker 1: a lot of old white dudes who vote in America.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I hope that they. I hope that
Speaker 1: the the the more aged and wise gentlemen listening to
Speaker 1: this show, We'll make sure that they pay attention to
Speaker 1: fact that the Democratic Party kind of hates them and
Speaker 1: maybe they shouldn't vote Democrat because maybe Democrats are kind
Speaker 1: of pushing for evil these days. Anyway. And then you've
Speaker 1: got the others out of this too, which is the
Speaker 1: cultural push for um for men to be very solicitous of.
Speaker 1: You know, we need to make sure we have female
Speaker 1: voices here, We need to make sure that, you know,
Speaker 1: I just want intelligent voices on whatever the topic is.
Speaker 1: But but Jim Acosta had a real we had to
Speaker 1: get a do we have the buck slap noise handy?
Speaker 1: We should because he deserves one. Come on. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I'm putting them on the spot. It's not as fierce
Speaker 1: as it should be, but it gets the job done.
Speaker 1: But you got yeah, yeah, what do you got? Now?
Speaker 1: We we can't hear you in here, man, No, no,
Speaker 1: producer Mike, I can't hear you. You can't hear me now,
Speaker 1: I can't Okay, Yeah, you just use the words intelligent
Speaker 1: voices in Jim Accosta in the same sentence. It's terrible.
Speaker 1: I should code red myself ten push ups in the corner.
Speaker 1: I would say twenty. But let's be real, I worked
Speaker 1: too much these days, having been to a gym and forever.
Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, a Costa's out there and and he
Speaker 1: this was this was it was too much serious stuff
Speaker 1: to talk about earlier in the week. So this slip
Speaker 1: through the cracks, and producer Mike reminded me. So a
Speaker 1: Costas at a press conference with Trump, the press conference
Speaker 1: where Trump was, I mean, dude, he was, he was Trump,
Speaker 1: he was Trump the Destroyer. It was amazing. He was
Speaker 1: one of his best press conferences ever. And and accosted
Speaker 1: this whole thing. Where As if the grand sending that
Speaker 1: he pulls himself is not enough, he likes to try
Speaker 1: to use other people at CNN for the purpose of
Speaker 1: his own grandstanding. Please play the clip you don't mind
Speaker 1: after I'm finished. If we jer or Halle or or
Speaker 1: Vivian or one of our female colleagues could go after me,
Speaker 1: that would be great. Um, this president just to follow
Speaker 1: up on these allegations against What does he mean by that?
Speaker 1: Explain what? What does what does that meant? A female?
Speaker 1: What does it mean? What does it mean if a
Speaker 1: female reporter would ask you a question about this issue?
Speaker 1: So if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind it at all.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind it at all. Right, Well, let me
Speaker 1: if I wouldn't make any difference to me. You have
Speaker 1: three women here who are all making allegations, who are
Speaker 1: all asking that their stories be heard. And you know,
Speaker 1: if you look at the case of Roy Moore, if
Speaker 1: you look at the case of one of your staffers,
Speaker 1: you seem to time and again side with the accused
Speaker 1: and not the accuser. Is that because of the many,
Speaker 1: many allegations that you've had uh made against you over
Speaker 1: the years. I mean, Acosta is such a clown that
Speaker 1: there's a part of me that is happy that he's
Speaker 1: out there. He's a constant reminder to America of this
Speaker 1: is the un n Yeah, that's right. Jim Acosta is CNN.
Speaker 1: Jim Acosta is the guy that they're putting front and
Speaker 1: center at the White House on all these issues, and
Speaker 1: his all thing, you know, I've got I've got the
Speaker 1: use of these women behind me. Can they answer the question?
Speaker 1: First of all, it's like, why don't Jim, why don't
Speaker 1: you just give your a question to one of them?
Speaker 1: Don't know, See, Jim is a little little little piggy
Speaker 1: when it comes to the questions. He wants to be
Speaker 1: doling out questions to others and getting his first question in, Uh,
Speaker 1: can't be greedy, Jim. The president gets to make that call.
Speaker 1: But I just love I just love how the President
Speaker 1: came out and just just let him have it. Let
Speaker 1: him have it. I mean he he's like, what are
Speaker 1: you even talking about? Dude? Basicallyist what he says to him,
Speaker 1: and he answers. Acosta saw this as an opportunity to
Speaker 1: show how he's such a champion for women. You know
Speaker 1: who's really doing this a lot these days, as well
Speaker 1: as his tuban, their chief legal analyst, who is a
Speaker 1: terrible legal analyst. I don't know if you guys ever
Speaker 1: see this guy on CNN. He's like Jeffrey Tubit, did
Speaker 1: it look like a lawyer? So? And this guy according
Speaker 1: to Sean Davis if you look on Sean Davis is
Speaker 1: our friend from the Federalists Twitter account. Uh, this dude
Speaker 1: tubans history when it comes to women is highly a
Speaker 1: highly checkered past. But he's on TV. It's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: as if they did that, women are to be believed,
Speaker 1: that all this stuff. These people are all posers. They're
Speaker 1: just fakers. I guess that makes sense because they work
Speaker 1: at at fake news. But the talking points you here
Speaker 1: this week about how old white men are bad and
Speaker 1: how you know, women are to be believed and we
Speaker 1: need more women voices and all these different things. Normal
Speaker 1: people don't think this way. Normal people just think, you know,
Speaker 1: who's the best person for this job, who's the smartest
Speaker 1: on this issue. We can have a rational discussion about
Speaker 1: what do process looks like and what rule of all
Speaker 1: looks like, even in this kind of weird world of
Speaker 1: the Senate, which is really the deliberative body here, as
Speaker 1: everyone keeps saying it's a political process, but the affirmative action,
Speaker 1: diversity at all costs mentality that you see among Democrats.
Speaker 1: It affects their thinking now with everything. I mean, I
Speaker 1: had to sit there today. You know, I did a
Speaker 1: show with my co host, Jamal who by the way,
Speaker 1: he's a Democrat, great guy that really like them all. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's my co host when Crystals out. But he was
Speaker 1: really concerned that that we didn't have so we actually
Speaker 1: skiped into Crystal in Las Vegas because he felt like, look,
Speaker 1: we really need to have a women a woman rather
Speaker 1: having this conversation. We had two women on our panel. Um,
Speaker 1: but I'm sitting here, Well, I don't understand. Why do
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking mostly about Kavanaugh? So am I
Speaker 1: only let to talk about Kavanaugh and not for because
Speaker 1: I'm a man? I mean, this is and look, he's
Speaker 1: very reasonable about it, but I could tell he was.
Speaker 1: He was concerned that we in effect didn't have the
Speaker 1: full right to have the conversation without having a a
Speaker 1: woman as a part of the conversation. I just don't
Speaker 1: I don't view the world that way. Maybe I'm guilty
Speaker 1: of bucks plaining. Bucks Plaine, that's right, Well, I do
Speaker 1: talk on radio for it three hours at a time.
Speaker 1: So there's that, Um, there's plenty of bucks planning that
Speaker 1: ends up happening. And also I gotta say, Lindsay, you
Speaker 1: know what's funny. I was. I saw Lindsey Graham do
Speaker 1: his thing yesterday and we gave him a lot of
Speaker 1: props on the show. It was the right move because
Speaker 1: he deserved it. But I've been saying for weeks that
Speaker 1: Jeff Flake was gonna flake out, and I sent out
Speaker 1: a tweet today earlier where I'm like, maybe, I mean,
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong, Maybe I was wrong about this guy.
Speaker 1: And as soon as I sent it, as soon as
Speaker 1: I this is the problem with Twitter, as soon as
Speaker 1: I put it out there, I go, come on, Jeff Flake,
Speaker 1: the guys they got such a tool. He's gonna screw
Speaker 1: us over. And I didn't want to delete it because
Speaker 1: you know, I put it out there sure enough that
Speaker 1: my maybe Jeff Flake is not terrible tweet. The the
Speaker 1: half life of that was was like a couple of hours.
Speaker 1: I mean before just all of a sudden, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is looking looking pretty bad. And I was very
Speaker 1: very disappointed. And I no, I wasn't disappointed because I
Speaker 1: had been predicting this for weeks flake would flake out.
Speaker 1: I even had hashtag flake out ready to go. I
Speaker 1: think I put it out there before anybody else, not
Speaker 1: that it wasn't particularly obvious by the way, Bruceter, Mike,
Speaker 1: you want to make a prediction for how this goes down,
Speaker 1: I think it ends up going at the end. But
Speaker 1: it's gonna be next week is going to be hellish.
Speaker 1: There will be more story, there will be insane stories,
Speaker 1: and they will run specials on the most like horrific
Speaker 1: domestic abuse and sexual violence cases and all these different networks,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna we're just gonna be inundated with all
Speaker 1: this stuff next week. No doubt, it's gonna be it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a total mess. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: total mess. As we've been describing. I don't know, Republicans
Speaker 1: just can't they can't seem to learn, they can't seem
Speaker 1: to learn their lesson. And as I just mentioned to
Speaker 1: you before, you know, as we were talking, like do
Speaker 1: you really think next week when the week's up, that
Speaker 1: they're going to be like if they come back, and
Speaker 1: the first thing I tweeter that they're gonna this is
Speaker 1: this is what we've been talking about today on the show.
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna say, how dare you do? How dare
Speaker 1: you do a gang rape investigation in five days? And
Speaker 1: it's like, well, it's not a real criminal investigation, folks.
Speaker 1: This is They can't if they show up people and
Speaker 1: say when when they sent the CIA to roam around
Speaker 1: into a background check, it wasn't actually I a that whatever.
Speaker 1: But when they had the federal government do the background
Speaker 1: check at Amherst for me and they walked around. They
Speaker 1: can't lock people in the little room and be like, well,
Speaker 1: you better tell us everything you know about buck Sexton.
Speaker 1: They say, hey, what can tell us about buck Sexton?
Speaker 1: That's it. If you say I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: to you weird federal agent in a like ill fitting suit,
Speaker 1: guess what you don't have to You were not you're
Speaker 1: not being subpoena. You're under no obligation to talk to them.
Speaker 1: That's how a background investigation works. So how the hell
Speaker 1: are they gonna get if someone hasn't coming that someone
Speaker 1: hasn't come forward. Now you're gonna get the it's the
Speaker 1: whole dude, the whole thing, you and I. The whole
Speaker 1: thing is a joke. You know, even handed Brandon knows
Speaker 1: it's a joke. He's like, yeah, this is this is ridiculous.

Speaker 1: in New York tonight, team my hometown NYC. I got
Speaker 1: a friend, friend's birthday. Man, I love this town so much, Brandon,
Speaker 1: as I was telling you before I got off the
Speaker 1: I got off the not the subway, but the Amtrak,
Speaker 1: and I walked out and I almost got clipped by
Speaker 1: a guy. He was delivering meals to people. I believe
Speaker 1: it was an Asian fusion cuisine. Almost took me out.
Speaker 1: You know what, was like, my friend, Welcome New York,
Speaker 1: Welcome home. That's right. I got a few cab drivers,
Speaker 1: very gruffly telling me that even though their light was
Speaker 1: on for being on duty, they were not in fact
Speaker 1: on duty and almost ran me over. You know, NYC.
Speaker 1: All those smells. I'm like, what is that smell? It's
Speaker 1: funky and probably probably foul, but yet still alluring because
Speaker 1: it's New York City, So that was good to be here. Man,
Speaker 1: the hustle and bust all other people coming to the city,
Speaker 1: especially that part of town in Midtown. There's so many
Speaker 1: people on the street and it's so chaotic and hectic,
Speaker 1: and to me it's like, I'm It's like I'm on
Speaker 1: a beach with no people and I've got a corona
Speaker 1: in my hand. Just home. Especially this week with the
Speaker 1: U N in town. Oh yeah, that's right. It is
Speaker 1: really crazy this week. You know, things are things are nuts. Um.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know that the friend I'm going
Speaker 1: to see has been a friend of mine since I
Speaker 1: was in the fifth grade. I don't even know how old.
Speaker 1: I think twelve, is that right, maybe eleven or twelve?
Speaker 1: Then my friends since we're twelve, so going on almost
Speaker 1: friends for twenty five years. And she was the first
Speaker 1: girl who I ever asked for her phone number. We
Speaker 1: never dated or anything, but you know, when you're like
Speaker 1: seventh grade, eighth grade, you know you want to like
Speaker 1: hang out with it. We used to go to a
Speaker 1: It was kind of like the Max from Saved by
Speaker 1: the Bell. There was a there was like a French
Speaker 1: fries in shakes place. And we were in junior high
Speaker 1: and you know, you had to have the girl's phone number.
Speaker 1: But when you had the girl's phone number, you had
Speaker 1: to speak to your parents. Right. It wasn't until we
Speaker 1: got into high school that some of us started to
Speaker 1: get our own phone lines, which was a whole other thing.
Speaker 1: But if you wanted to speak to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the your your lady or young lady friend, you had
Speaker 1: to speak to like, you know, hello, mister so and so.
Speaker 1: You know, it was right, but that was this was
Speaker 1: a more civilized time brand than is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, you had to go. You weren't texting each
Speaker 1: other and you know, sending videos and all the stuff.
Speaker 1: You had to speak to the parents. The parents knew
Speaker 1: the boy you were talking and to know the boy.
Speaker 1: There were no girls that I hung out with the
Speaker 1: junior higher high school on on any kind of regular
Speaker 1: basis whose parents did not know me in a like
Speaker 1: first name handshake. I mean, obviously I called the Mr
Speaker 1: and mrs. But they knew who I was, and they
Speaker 1: knew who my family was. Simpler, simpler, better times my friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna see her tonight. Uh And and
Speaker 1: also I meet up with Miss Molly who gets back
Speaker 1: from Paris tonight, but she's coming into New York City first.
Speaker 1: So I'm in a good mood, Brandon, despite the fact
Speaker 1: that our country is tearing itself apart right now, Well
Speaker 1: you look good despite everything, thank you. Uh And by
Speaker 1: the way, any any fun branded plans for the weekend.
Speaker 1: You're gonna like dj it up somewhere. Why are you
Speaker 1: gonna give us some of your like Axl Rose podcast
Speaker 1: stuff on the show? You know, tell us about what
Speaker 1: do you do? Again? You never asked I've asked me.
Speaker 1: I've asked you just when I just came up with
Speaker 1: that you do like Axel Rose, Redes the eighties or
Speaker 1: sothern What is it for sure? That sounds sex here?
Speaker 1: But now I have a Guns and Roses esque podcast
Speaker 1: on the I heeart app appetite for distortion. He has
Speaker 1: checked that out. We just look, we just gave your
Speaker 1: podcast to plug on the show. I appreciate it for distortion.
Speaker 1: You talk about music, I talk up to the person
Speaker 1: I do profiles. I could be a perfect example. My
Speaker 1: last guest, Roy Orbison Jr. Of course you know his
Speaker 1: his dad pretty woman, and you would think what connection
Speaker 1: does he have to Guns and Roses? Well, Roy Orberson
Speaker 1: was recording during the week and on the weekends an
Speaker 1: unknown band. Uh. He would later find out who's gene
Speaker 1: R with destroy and use the same studios on the weekends.
Speaker 1: So when he was fifteen, he'd come in and see
Speaker 1: the kitchen with the sinks, the filters missing, and he
Speaker 1: put together. It was until years later he realized that
Speaker 1: G and R, you know Slash actle, they would take
Speaker 1: the filters to create smoking devices back in the day.
Speaker 1: And he learned that when he was fifteen, because you
Speaker 1: know he's Obson's kid and they do a profile on
Speaker 1: him as a person. Guns and Roses actually had an
Speaker 1: appetite for destruction. They did, they did. So it's just
Speaker 1: things like that. I've interviewed a friend of Slash who's
Speaker 1: a quadriplegic who does painting with his wheelchair wheels. But
Speaker 1: it has that six degrees of G and R Bacon
Speaker 1: that's my hook. So has like you talked about everything,
Speaker 1: you know, your movie quotes and uh, just you know,
Speaker 1: you'll talk to Minke and me just not politics all
Speaker 1: the time. But your basis is politics me. So I'm
Speaker 1: just not another rock podcast. I figured gen R is
Speaker 1: a good place, like a good band that has a
Speaker 1: lot of connects. I think you can make a and
Speaker 1: then I have to get to roll calls. People gonna
Speaker 1: yell at me. But I think you can make an
Speaker 1: honest case that Sweet Child of My might be the
Speaker 1: greatest single rock song of the eighties. I think you
Speaker 1: can make that case. Sure, And it was great because
Speaker 1: Roy Overson Jr. Said and he broke it down by
Speaker 1: guitar chord how that was based off Pretty Woman. I
Speaker 1: mean it's above my knowledge because I don't play guitar,
Speaker 1: but just things like that. So it's not just hey,
Speaker 1: it's my favorite song. It's kind of you know, interviewing people.
Speaker 1: What do you say to people listening to this right now, Brandon,
Speaker 1: who say that Buck is crazy? Sweet Child of Mine
Speaker 1: is not an all time greater song, whatever you take
Speaker 1: that to mean. Then living on a prayer, what do
Speaker 1: you say to that I don't like bon Jovi. If
Speaker 1: you say no bon Jovi for you know, it's just
Speaker 1: I was never into the Uh No, it's just it
Speaker 1: was like it was bon Jovi's like the Olive Garden
Speaker 1: of music, Like it's an institution that gets it done.
Speaker 1: It's fine, you're not gonna go home hungry, but like
Speaker 1: you're also it's not gonna rock your socks. I think
Speaker 1: I go back to uh summer of mine that I
Speaker 1: worked at at a summer campus. Kid played it for
Speaker 1: two months straight and that summer made me hate Bonjo
Speaker 1: And I think working classic rock radio where you play
Speaker 1: it twenty times a day, so I think I'm just
Speaker 1: burnt out on the Jovi GENA R is the exception. Well,
Speaker 1: we ended up actually doing a segment on your podcast,
Speaker 1: which is fine, So why don't we actually hit a
Speaker 1: pause here? We'll come back and I will, I promise
Speaker 1: I'll do. You can weigh in on some of the
Speaker 1: roll call, but we do have to do roll call
Speaker 1: because whenever, by the way, whenever I skip it, which
Speaker 1: rarely ever happens, but if I short change it, I
Speaker 1: get notes from people who are like, I know it's
Speaker 1: your show, but we're a part of this too, why
Speaker 1: aren't you doing more roll calls? So let me do
Speaker 1: that and we will come right back. Rock and roll fellow, patriots.
Speaker 1: We made ours go up to eleven. It's time for
Speaker 1: roll call. No more Philip bustering, Philip, Philip bucker ing.
Speaker 1: That's a thing we could make up. Maybe I'll get
Speaker 1: I'll get right to the action of the role. Call
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton if you want to
Speaker 1: be in on this piece, we have. Keith first s up.
Speaker 1: He says, you're almost always right. But Lindsey Graham retires
Speaker 1: from the UH Air Force Reserves or it's from the
Speaker 1: Air Force Reserves, not the Navy. Oh wow, I thought
Speaker 1: he was a wait, hold on a second. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I think Lindsey Graham. I'm gonna check this one in
Speaker 1: real time because I feel like I'm am I wrong
Speaker 1: on this one. Lindsey Graham military service. Well, we'll get
Speaker 1: producer Mike to fact check it if I can't get
Speaker 1: there soon enough. I'm trying to real time. Fact checks
Speaker 1: are always a bad idea because how are you really
Speaker 1: gonna know? Oh no, I'm wrong. I'm getting school today.
Speaker 1: Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard. Well, I
Speaker 1: still want to go to North care linea now and
Speaker 1: vote for him. I think he did a he's done
Speaker 1: a fantastic job all along. I mean, he's just the
Speaker 1: voice of sanity. You know, I'll never I'm gonna tell it. No,
Speaker 1: I won't tell us. I'm not gonna Well, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell a story. I remember when there was this
Speaker 1: panel at CNN after a after a big terror attack,
Speaker 1: and they're all these different people, former CI a former
Speaker 1: general and like an academic and me, and they all
Speaker 1: went around and said that this terror attack in Europe
Speaker 1: was was more or less the fault of the Europeans
Speaker 1: for being bad at assimilation. And I came up and
Speaker 1: I just said, this is crazy. Okay, this is a terrorist.
Speaker 1: He's blowing up men, women and children are running them
Speaker 1: over the car in this case, this is not about
Speaker 1: bad assimilation practices. And I'll never forget. A couple of
Speaker 1: weeks later, a guy saw me and I just couldn't.
Speaker 1: I can usually assume he was a liberal. I mean
Speaker 1: it was New York City and I could tell. And
Speaker 1: he came off and he was just like, thank you
Speaker 1: for speaking sense that day. Sometimes being the voice of reason,
Speaker 1: Brandon is all you need. You just need to be
Speaker 1: the voice. You don't have to be brilliant, you don't
Speaker 1: have to be special. You just have to be the
Speaker 1: guy that's like a normal person would it this way?
Speaker 1: And Lindsay Graham was the normal person but he got
Speaker 1: fired up. Martha, next up, Rights, they need to take
Speaker 1: Jeff Flake to the wood shed. Well, Martha, you know
Speaker 1: what Jeff Flake has done, though, is that he was
Speaker 1: the first one, so he gets all the credit for
Speaker 1: negotiating this compromise situation. And he's then going to or
Speaker 1: he's already gotten the others to go along with him,
Speaker 1: so it's not like he's the only one. He Look,
Speaker 1: he's slimy, but he's not not dumb. You know, he's slimy,
Speaker 1: but it very very well. Maybe the case that you
Speaker 1: know he is he comes out of this getting everything
Speaker 1: he wants out of the bargain, which is a shame,
Speaker 1: but I do think that's a real possibility. Jim right Buck,
Speaker 1: My son was gluten free for half his life, and
Speaker 1: that's how I found Brazilian cheese with Brazilian cheese waffles
Speaker 1: made with tapioca flower Are you want these in your life?
Speaker 1: And do not pass a syrup because these bad boys
Speaker 1: convey them meat. Yeah, that's right, here's the link. You're welcome. Wow,
Speaker 1: Tappy Oka waffles with meat on them. That no, no, no, Brandon,
Speaker 1: don't give me that face, dude. These look really good. Actually,
Speaker 1: anytime you can come up with a delicious and decadent
Speaker 1: carbohydrate to package all of your meat in, I think
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. I think everybody wins. Not exactly
Speaker 1: Keto friendly, though, do you know Keto. I've been Keto diet.
Speaker 1: I think it's very similar to the Atkins diet, and
Speaker 1: maybe there's some I won't speak beyond that because I
Speaker 1: don't really know. Um, I don't really know Jen. Scotty
Speaker 1: doesn't know. Scotty doesn't know. Jen writes, what the hell
Speaker 1: The FBI already said they don't want or need to
Speaker 1: be involved in this freak show, Jen, I know. I agree.
Speaker 1: It is crazy town, carazsy town, and yeah, here we are.
Speaker 1: It's a bad idea, folks. We don't learn our lesson.
Speaker 1: The GOP don't learn. Don't learn the lesson. You give
Speaker 1: these people time, you give them the ability to to
Speaker 1: try to throw a wrench into things, They're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: You gotta remember it's not that the Democrats don't play
Speaker 1: by the rules of the game, meaning this isn't taking
Speaker 1: that last time out before the kicker to ice the kicker.
Speaker 1: That's not what democrats do. Democrats unplugged the scoreboard and
Speaker 1: take the ball and run home outside the stadium with
Speaker 1: it like they just they'll shut it down. They will
Speaker 1: shut it down. So I think that's important for everyone
Speaker 1: to recognize here. They will not play fair. There's no
Speaker 1: way they will play fair. Raphael writes, Hello from Houston.
Speaker 1: Been trying to find the social media site you talk about,
Speaker 1: what's it? What's it call? Then? How's it spelled? Well,
Speaker 1: it's our one of our oh shield tie I fail,
Speaker 1: it's one of our sponsors. It's called Snippy. In fact,
Speaker 1: I have snippy dot com open right now, so it's
Speaker 1: an oh sorry s n I p p y dot com,
Speaker 1: Snippy dot com. Maybe they could have me do the
Speaker 1: like little you know what I mean? That was kind
Speaker 1: of like Expedia spedia dot com. That's close enough, right,
Speaker 1: don't quit your day job. Yeah you know what. I've
Speaker 1: never jobs. Yeah, there's only four of them. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I've never gotten any voiceover work. Makes me very sad.
Speaker 1: That's the greatest of all the gigs you can get
Speaker 1: where you're just chilling, and people are like the new
Speaker 1: forward integral you know, that would be amazing where my
Speaker 1: friends got out Wendy's and Nokia. Well, who's your friend?
Speaker 1: I want to meet him. I can learn his ways.
Speaker 1: This radio thing, I gotta do three hours of real
Speaker 1: content every night. I'd sit there and just be like, Hey,
Speaker 1: come down to Bob's waterhouse warehouse or waterbed warehouse. You
Speaker 1: need to get the Yeah, you need to get the
Speaker 1: actual copy right though, from what I understand, you can
Speaker 1: and just you can't make mistakes on it. Dave right,
Speaker 1: so long ago I called it and said how glad
Speaker 1: I was for your voice in today's world. I am
Speaker 1: really glad for it. Now keep preaching, Dave Shields high
Speaker 1: and thank you, sir. I'm really glad you listened to
Speaker 1: the show. And this is my shameless pitch to all
Speaker 1: of YouTube. Please please consider telling someone about the show
Speaker 1: for the weekend. Don't just tell them, share with them,
Speaker 1: you know, send somebody an email that you send a
Speaker 1: conservative in your life an email with a link to
Speaker 1: the Apple podcast of the Buck Sexton Show, Free to
Speaker 1: do free, for it's all free. Just send it to
Speaker 1: somebody and see if they'll they'll join the Freedom houd.
Speaker 1: I actually got somebody today. It's maybe a slightly embarrassing story,
Speaker 1: but you know what, Brandon, I'm I'm feeling like I'm
Speaker 1: in a sharing mood right now. I was on my
Speaker 1: way home before I was going to get on the
Speaker 1: train in the swamp in d C. And I might
Speaker 1: have been writing an electric rideshare scooter and somebody flagged
Speaker 1: me down. And I can tell he looked like a
Speaker 1: jovial all of ma Rikan fellow. He's a member of
Speaker 1: Team Buck, lives in the Maryland area, and he stops me,
Speaker 1: and I just I was so happy. It's always nice
Speaker 1: when I see somebody listen to the show and he's, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I listen to your show, And I said, oh,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. And I wanted to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but can you not tell anybody about this electric scooter
Speaker 1: situation here? I know it's so Brandon, it is so nerdy,
Speaker 1: and I accept that there's no way around the nerdiness
Speaker 1: of it. And my man card Is is getting smaller
Speaker 1: and smaller all the time. Uh, but it's so fun
Speaker 1: and so convenient. I get home, It's a mile and
Speaker 1: change for me to walk home. I can get home
Speaker 1: in five minutes and it cost me a dollar fifty.
Speaker 1: It's pretty dope. That's what the kids used to and
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone says dope anymore. We have Jen,
Speaker 1: who rights Buck. Who is the woman sitting direct fine
Speaker 1: Stein with buzz cut. I don't know who we're talking about, Jen,
Speaker 1: but if I figure it out, I'll let you know. Kyle.
Speaker 1: On the topic of the border and drugs, any military
Speaker 1: pilot who has done some envy G low level training
Speaker 1: flights along the border will tell you that when you
Speaker 1: go on the goggles and low light conditions, it's very
Speaker 1: common to see blacked out drug trailers think breaking bad
Speaker 1: and pick up trucks with no headlights driving through the
Speaker 1: middle of the desert. The naked eye can't see it,
Speaker 1: but those n v G s and infrared sure do.
Speaker 1: They aren't sightseeing enjoy riding their hauling drugs. Kyle, I
Speaker 1: know a bit about how all of this works, how
Speaker 1: all this goes, because when I was in the c
Speaker 1: i A. I spent some time in briefings, not ever
Speaker 1: working directly with but sometimes in briefings with my d
Speaker 1: e A colleagues, and the ingenuity of the drug cartels
Speaker 1: and drug traffickers is a pretty impressive thing. Obviously, it's
Speaker 1: pernicious because the poison they bring the country kills a
Speaker 1: lot of people, but it is incredible what they'll do.
Speaker 1: And when you understand the economics of drugs, you understand
Speaker 1: at seizing them in a percentage that's you know, less
Speaker 1: than se or whatever. And by the way, it's probably
Speaker 1: less than in reality, but seizing them doesn't do anything
Speaker 1: other than affect the street price and call street price
Speaker 1: price fluctuations. So yes, it's true, And I have the
Speaker 1: d E A chief uh interview on Monday. The acting
Speaker 1: Chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration will join me on
Speaker 1: Monday on Rising, which you can check out on Hill
Speaker 1: dot tv. But most importantly share the Apple podcast The
Speaker 1: Buck Sex and show. Let's not let's not dilute the message.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back with more uh, well, almost delute
Speaker 1: the message with a more roll call. Hey teen buck,
Speaker 1: it's time for roll call. Very appropriate role all music,
Speaker 1: because I may, in fact, I may, in fact the
Speaker 1: going to a nightclubs to night New York City for
Speaker 1: a little bit, which I rarely ever do, one of
Speaker 1: these hip places where you have to be on a list.
Speaker 1: It's for the birthday I have to go to. But
Speaker 1: I'm never on the list unless there's somebody else who's cool,
Speaker 1: who I just happened to know, who will add me
Speaker 1: to said list. But I'm never like somebody who's on
Speaker 1: one of these lists. You know what also happens I
Speaker 1: the music is always too loud for me. I'm the
Speaker 1: old man who was like, I don't like this place.
Speaker 1: It's dark and the music is killing my ear drums. Uh,
Speaker 1: all right, back to roll Call Chuck my buddy, because
Speaker 1: my name is Buck, Chuck writes. During Ford's testimony, the
Speaker 1: interviewer asked if she had seen Kavanaugh at parties after
Speaker 1: the incident. She said yes, and nothing more was said.
Speaker 1: That was an amazing fact that was totally missed by everyone.
Speaker 1: If she was so broken up over Kavanaugh, why did
Speaker 1: she attend parties where he was present? Why did she
Speaker 1: not flee? Why did she not talk Chuck? I find
Speaker 1: her whole story very strange. Um. Not just the fact
Speaker 1: that there are these massive holes in it, um, but
Speaker 1: I find it's strange that she didn't tell anybody when
Speaker 1: she not just after the party. She didn't tell her
Speaker 1: best friend, the girl Leland, who she says was at
Speaker 1: the party. Leland says she doesn't remember this at all,
Speaker 1: but she didn't tell her friend that she had just
Speaker 1: been almost according to her story, uh, double person. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess it's a gang raped, gang raped upstairs. She
Speaker 1: didn't tell her friend, she just left. It doesn't she
Speaker 1: ran as she locked herself in a bathroom. They didn't
Speaker 1: come and pound on the door and tell her to
Speaker 1: come out or anything. They just let her stay in
Speaker 1: the back. It doesn't make sense when you when you
Speaker 1: run through her testimony and try to visualize this. Why
Speaker 1: would a guy just jump on top of another guy
Speaker 1: who's trying to hold her down. I mean what that
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like two guys who are trying to attempt
Speaker 1: a gang rape. In fact, the second guy, in effect,
Speaker 1: Mark Judge, according to her allegation, uh stopped the assault
Speaker 1: from happening inadvertently, which given that there was the loud
Speaker 1: music and this all seems so coordinated, are we really
Speaker 1: to believe that the second guy was that clumsy in
Speaker 1: this criminal effort. I mean, it's just I don't I
Speaker 1: think she's I think she has a false memory. I
Speaker 1: really do. I think she has a false memory. I
Speaker 1: think she might be a slightly disturbed person, and I
Speaker 1: think she has a false memory, which doesn't make her
Speaker 1: a bad person. It makes her person who needs help.
Speaker 1: The people around her, though, who have used her and
Speaker 1: weaponized her and all that they are bad people. That
Speaker 1: is where the real evil comes in. Assuming my theory
Speaker 1: is correct. She also just could be lying, in which
Speaker 1: case she is the heart of evil in this process.
Speaker 1: But that's that's a that's a tougher one. I think
Speaker 1: it's harder for me to get to that place based
Speaker 1: on all this, uh, Brian writes, listening to the hearings
Speaker 1: in your analysis, is I keep going back to Ray
Speaker 1: Donovan's quote, which office do I go to get my
Speaker 1: reputation back? Totally true, Brian, And the answer is there's
Speaker 1: nowhere to go to get your reputation back. The answer
Speaker 1: is that what we learned from that whole fiasco is
Speaker 1: that character assassination is a tool of the wicked. It
Speaker 1: is the ultimate cheap shot because once it's done, even
Speaker 1: if one's character has been proven to be unfairly be smirched,
Speaker 1: there's still that sense that you know it's uh, you're damaged,
Speaker 1: you're tainted by it all, um, Mike writes, this is
Speaker 1: hatcher from Indiana. That's what my friends called me. You
Speaker 1: are my friend now, just a hard working biker type
Speaker 1: no one cares about. Your voice actually got my attention,
Speaker 1: made me listen and educated me. Literally turned me, literally
Speaker 1: turned me around. I'm a I'm a truck driver, just
Speaker 1: in their hard work in American when you opened my eyes.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party BS only have literally one friend left
Speaker 1: in this world, and he's all about the Democratic Party BS.
Speaker 1: Even though it means I'm totally alone. I'll keep my
Speaker 1: shield high. Mike. Please do love you man, You're the best.
Speaker 1: Even with that big head. We'd be lost without you. Well, Mike,
Speaker 1: thank you, sir. And the big head. Think of it
Speaker 1: as like a giant, wobbly beacon of freedom a team
Speaker 1: buck can follow. That's what a giant cranium is for.
Speaker 1: It is huge. People say that I say this on radio,
Speaker 1: and people see me and I can always tell. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they're like, Brandon, this actually happens. Let go while your
Speaker 1: head is really big. Yes, I've totally it's it's a
Speaker 1: noggin you've but you've got a pretty sizeable cranium too
Speaker 1: for your you know what I mean for your frame. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's that's You've got a dome. Dude, You've got a
Speaker 1: d o M. E legit. It's beautiful. It is a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Rick right shields high Buck. The other day
Speaker 1: you mentioned that you thought noise ordinances should be more strict.
Speaker 1: I think it's a slippery slope and goes right along
Speaker 1: with clothing police. Soon enough, they'll limit something that adversely
Speaker 1: affects you in a matter you find unnecessary. Also, I
Speaker 1: don't want to eat my food while smelling smoke from
Speaker 1: someone's cigarette. And nanny state is in the answer. Let
Speaker 1: business practices dictate their own policies, and the free market
Speaker 1: will decide what is acceptable. I I will say, um
Speaker 1: that I admit that I am deviating from principal here,
Speaker 1: and at least I'm honest about it. You know, when
Speaker 1: it comes to noise, when it comes to people, I
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm trying to sleep in night in d C.
Speaker 1: And all here is from the street from people's base
Speaker 1: in the car, and they'll sit there on the street,
Speaker 1: you know, for like an hour, it seems like, with
Speaker 1: the base blasting up through all the apartments and houses nearby,
Speaker 1: and I just yeah, I um, I don't like it.
Speaker 1: So even though even though I know it's not a
Speaker 1: conservative position, I admit that I don't like it. This
Speaker 1: is where my inner, my inner progressive, comes out when
Speaker 1: it only comes to smoking bends. And dude, I have
Speaker 1: lots of you know, lots lots of smokers, lots of
Speaker 1: friends of my life with smoke. You know, I respect
Speaker 1: their right to do it, and that's fine. I just
Speaker 1: the moment that that smell interferes with my flag ras tasting,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm just kidding my barbecue tasting.
Speaker 1: I would never eat flag Gras sounds so silly and fancy.
Speaker 1: Nathan writes zero evidence for ms Ford. She is the
Speaker 1: Rachel Dolazol of sexual assault. Well, Nathan, she doesn't have
Speaker 1: any evidence that is true. But that's not gonna stop
Speaker 1: the nastiness. Next week it's going to be wild Teams. Team.
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be with you next week. I'll be
Speaker 1: traveling a bit, but i'll be uh popping up on
Speaker 1: the radar with the show as often as I can.
Speaker 1: And better strap in because next week is a wild one.
Speaker 1: Get some rest this weekend, recoup. I'm ready to come back.
Speaker 1: Shields High you know, it's not smart using some site
Speaker 1: to get all the resumes together where you don't even
Speaker 1: know how many places that your job is being posted.
Speaker 1: You know what else isn't smart? Stifting through all that
Speaker 1: stuff on your own and hoping that magically you're just
Speaker 1: gonna focus in on the resumes that are the best.
Speaker 1: Smart is something you need when you're hiring folks, and
Speaker 1: zip recruiter is the smartest way to hire. They've got
Speaker 1: a matching technology that I have used myself with great
Speaker 1: success to bring colleagues to join me at the hill.

Speaker 1: the webs leading boards, and it uses it's smart matching
